Katsu Chicken Rice Bowl Recipes

CHICKEN KATSU BOWL

Steps:

• For the katsu mayo: Mix the mayonnaise and tonkatsu together in a bowl.
• For the chicken katsu bowl: Preheat fryer oil to 350 degrees F.
• Sprinkle chicken tenders with granulated garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper. Dredge tenders in flour and shake off excess. Dip into egg wash, then shake off excess egg. Dip into breadcrumbs and flatten out tenders evenly using your palm. Shake off excess crumbs.
• Put tenders into hot oil and cook until golden brown and internal temp is 165 degrees F. Cut into 1/2-inch slices. Serve with katsu mayo.

CHICKEN KATSU WITH GINGER RICE

Steps:

• Put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Season the chicken with salt and pepper; dredge each cutlet in the flour, dip in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then dredge in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Transfer to a plate.
• Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Remove the chicken to a rack set on a baking sheet to drain; season with salt.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in another large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the bok choy; season with salt and cook, stirring, until the bok choy is wilted, about 1 minute. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the scallions; season with salt. Serve the chicken with the rice and katsu sauce.

KATSU CHICKEN RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package directions. Heat sesame oil in a medium pan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add vegetables and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ¼ cup of katsu sauce and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Cover vegetables with lid to keep warm. Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a heavy pan or sauté pan. While oil heats, slice chicken breast in half through the side to create 2 thinner pieces. Add beaten egg to one bowl and use a second bowl to combine panko and sea salt. Blot chicken with paper towel and dunk into egg, shaking off excess, then dredge in panko mixture to coat. When oil reaches 350ºF, carefully add both pieces of chicken and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side using tongs to turn. Set chicken aside on a cutting board and cool for 3 minutes before slicing. Serve chicken over rice alongside vegetables and drizzle with remaining katsu sauce.
