Method
Main
- 1For katsu sauce, heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, add onion, ginger and garlic and sauté until tender (3-4 minutes). Add curry powder, stir until fragrant, then stir in flour and cook until sandy (1-2 minutes). Gradually whisk in stock, add soy sauce and honey and simmer, whisking occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar and garam masala and keep warm.
- 2Meanwhile, preheat oven to 220C. Dip chicken in flour, then egg, then panko crumbs, shaking off excess in between. Heat oil in a large frying pan and fry chicken, turning occasionally, until golden (3-4 minutes). Transfer to oven until cooked through (3-4 minutes). Serve with steamed rice, and topped with katsu sauce and spring onion.
