Japanese Chicken Katsu with Tonkatsu Sauce Crispy Chicken Katsu with Homemade Tonkatsu Sauce Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Salt and pepper, to taste 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 large eggs, beaten 1 cup panko breadcrumbs Vegetable oil, for frying For the Tonkatsu Sauce: 1/4 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon mirin (or rice vinegar) 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard To Serve: Steamed white rice Shredded cabbage Lemon wedges (optional) Directions: Prepare the Tonkatsu sauce: In a bowl, whisk together ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and mustard. Set aside. Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, then in egg, and finally in panko, pressing to adhere. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and let rest for a few minutes. Slice into strips. Serve over steamed rice with shredded cabbage and drizzle with Tonkatsu sauce. Add lemon wedges on the side if desired.

Japanese Curry Chicken Mild & Comforting Japanese Chicken Curry Stew Ingredients: 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces 2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped 2 carrots, sliced 1 large onion, sliced 3 cups water 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 apple, grated (Fuji or Honeycrisp works best) 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce For the Curry Roux: 3 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons curry powder 1 tablespoon garam masala 1 tablespoon ketchup 1/2 tablespoon honey Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional) Directions: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until translucent. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned on all sides. Add carrots, potatoes, and grated apple. Stir for a couple of minutes. Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. While the stew simmers, prepare the curry roux in a separate pan: melt butter, then stir in flour and cook for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned. Add curry powder, garam masala, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper if using. Stir to make a thick paste. Add the curry roux into the pot with the stew. Stir well to incorporate. Let simmer for an additional 10–15 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables beautifully. Serve hot over steamed white rice.
