Join me and let's see how to make Katsu Curry
Instructions:
Step 1
Start by preparing the Katsu:
Step 2
Season the pork chops or chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Dredge each piece in flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
Step 4
Dip them into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 5
Coat the pieces with panko breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the meat to adhere.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. You'll need enough oil to submerge the Katsu. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
Step 7
Carefully place the breaded pork or chicken into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes per side for pork and 3-4 minutes per side for chicken. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Now, let's make the curry sauce:
Step 9
In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 10
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
Step 11
Stir in the curry powder and flour. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
Step 12
Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the saucepan. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 13
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 14
Stir in the soy sauce and honey (or sugar). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 15
To serve, slice the Katsu into strips and place them over a bed of steamed rice. Pour the curry sauce over the Katsu and rice.
Step 16
Garnish with pickled ginger or sliced scallions if desired. Enjoy your homemade Katsu Curry!
