Among the Japanese foods increasingly found on Western menus is chicken katsu. The term katsu simply means a cutlet, which is coated in panko breadcrumbs. Panko breading provides a crisper, airier texture than most Western types, as well as prevents oil or grease from being absorbed when fried. Typically, chicken katsu is served with rice and Japanese curry sauce or a fruity brown table sauce and salad. In this recipe, we give you the best of both worlds with our chicken katsu two-way dinner.

How to cook
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Servings: Up to 4 people
- In a large bowl, add 100 g of plain flour and season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat two eggs thoroughly. In a third bowl, add 50 g of Yutaka Panko Japanese-style breadcrumbs.
- Next, coat eat skinless chicken breast, first in the breadcrumbs, then the egg and lastly the flour.
- Preheat the cooking oil to 180° in a deep-fat fryer. Then, fry the coated chicken breasts until golden brown. Remove the chicken and rest for 2 minutes. Increase the oil heat to 220° and fry the chicken for another 2 minutes. Remove the chicken again and place on a chopping board. Slice two of the breasts into medium-thick strips, place on a large plate around a mound of boiled or steamed rice, while setting the other two portions aside.
- Take a whole block of S&B Golden Curry and prepare as per instructions with water. When the sauce is ready, pour over the plated rice, making sure there is plenty for dipping the chicken strips.
- To prepare the salad, slice the white cabbage and cucumber as thinly as possible. Next, slice the tomato into wedges. Add everything to a large bowl and top with the remaining portions of chicken strips.
- Drizzle the salad with the Bull-Dog Vegetable and Fruit Tonkatsu Sauce, then enjoy along with the katsu curry.
