🍱 Japanese Chicken Katsu Recipe

 


📝 Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs (beaten)

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese-style)

  • Vegetable oil (for deep or shallow frying)

For the Tonkatsu Sauce (optional but recommended):

  • ¼ cup ketchup

  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp mirin (or honey/sugar)

  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard (optional)

To Serve:

  • Steamed white rice

  • Shredded cabbage

  • Lemon wedges (optional)

🔪 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

  • Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound to about ½ inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

  • Season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Set Up Breading Station:

  • In three separate shallow bowls:

    1. Add flour to the first.

    2. Beat the eggs in the second.

    3. Pour panko breadcrumbs into the third.

3. Bread the Chicken:

  • Dredge each chicken breast in flour (shake off excess).

  • Dip into beaten egg.

  • Coat well with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

4. Fry the Chicken:

  • Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat (about 350°F / 175°C).

  • Fry the chicken katsu for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  • Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

5. Make the Tonkatsu Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until smooth. Adjust sweetness or acidity to your liking.

6. Serve:

  • Slice the chicken katsu into strips.

  • Serve over steamed rice with shredded cabbage.

  • Drizzle or serve with tonkatsu sauce on the side.

  • Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.

🍽️ Tips:

  • Panko breadcrumbs make a huge difference for the crispy texture—don’t substitute with regular breadcrumbs!

  • Pair with miso soup for a complete Japanese-style meal.

  • Leftovers can be used in katsu sandwiches or katsu curry!
