instructions
    1

    Begin by preparing the rice. Rinse 200 grams of rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook it according to package instructions (about 20 minutes).

    2

    While the rice is cooking, peel and chop the onion, carrot, and potato into small cubes.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.

    4

    Add the carrot and potato to the skillet, stirring for another 5 minutes. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of curry powder over the vegetables, stirring well to coat them.

    5

    Pour in enough water to cover the vegetables (around 500 milliliters) and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

    6

    While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the chicken. Cut 400 grams of chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces.

    7

    Set up a breading station: place 100 grams of flour in one bowl, beat 1 egg in a second bowl, and put 100 grams of panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

    8

    Dip each chicken piece first in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

    9

    Heat enough vegetable oil in a separate pan to cover the bottom (about 1 centimeter deep), over medium-high heat.

    10

    Once hot, carefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the pan and fry them until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side.

    11

    Remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain on paper towels.

    12

    Once the veggies are tender, stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce for flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

    13

    Serve the crispy Torikatsu (breaded chicken) over a bed of fluffy rice, smothered with the golden curry sauce. Enjoy your delicious meal!

How to be creative
  • Add some heat by incorporating sliced chili peppers into the curry.
  • Serve with a side of pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions for an extra pop of flavor.
Important Tips
  • For extra crunch, you can double-dip the chicken in egg and panko.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is hot enough before frying (around 175°C).
  • Allow the curry to simmer longer for a richer flavor.
