How To make Katsu Curry | Recipe

I have always loved the Katsu curry from places like Wagamamas and Yo sushi and other small Japanese food places, it had made me always want to try to make katsu, so I looked up several recipes online and find one from the guys over at Sorted Food, and was beyond excited to try it, warranted it doesn't taste like the Wagamamas sauce I so love but it does still taste really delicious.

Above are a list of ingredients you will need for the sauce:

1 onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  thumb sized piece of ginger, chopped
  pinch of chilli flakes
  1 tbsp mild curry powder
  1 tbsp plain flour
  mug of chicken stock (250ml)
  squeeze of honey
  splash of soy sauce

The recipe for the chicken and rice also calls for: 

basmati rice (100g)

2 chicken breasts

1 egg, beaten

handful of plain flour

handful of breadcrumbs (panko are best)

I followed the recipe pretty much exactly, I will be including pictures so you can see how mine looked as it progressed along.

fry the onion, garlic, ginger and chilli flakes in a shot of oil for a few minutes to soften. 

spoon the flour and curry powder into the pan and stir for a minute. 

gradually pour in the chicken stock as you stir, then add the honey and soy. 

simmer for 10 minutes, then blend with a stick blender for smooth consistency.  

dump the rice into the boiling water, stir and simmer for 10 minutes until cooked. 

slice into each chicken breast and open like a book into a thinner butterfly shape. 

season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dip into the flour, then beaten egg mixture and finally the breadcrumbs 
fry the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side in a generous glug of oil in a pan over a gentle heat until golden brown and cooked right through. 

drain the rice and serve in a mound on the plate. 
cut the chicken breast into strips, double checking that it’s cooked through, then place on the rice, spoon over the sauce and sprinkle with the spring onions. 

Sadly mine doesn't look quite as pretty as Wagamamas but the guys over at sorted food have lots of great food recipes and if you love cooking as much as I do I'd definitely check them out you won't regret it
