Delicious and satisfying Crispy Japanese Katsu Bowls featuring fried chicken, fluffy rice, and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breasts, boneless
- 1 cup Cabbage
- 2 Green onions
- 1 Pickled ginger
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Tonkatsu sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups Japanese short grain rice
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 1/2 cups Water
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the Japanese short grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 2 1/2 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Set aside when done.
- Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thickness and season with salt and pepper.
- Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each chicken breast in flour, then in eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the breaded chicken cutlets and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- In the same skillet, add cabbage and green onions and lightly sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- To serve, place a scoop of rice in each bowl, top with sliced Katsu, drizzle with tonkatsu sauce, and garnish with pickled ginger, sesame seeds, and sugar. Enjoy!
