Crispy on the outside, tender inside — Japan’s coziest comfort food! 🍗

Ingredients

  • 🍗 2 chicken breasts (300–350 g total), butterflied & pounded 1 cm
  • 🧂 1 tsp salt + ½ tsp pepper
  • 🌾 60 g flour
  • 🥚 2 eggs, beaten
  • 🍞 120 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 🛢️ 300 ml neutral oil (for shallow frying)
  • 🍚 300 g cooked Japanese short-grain rice
  • Curry sauce:
  • 🧅 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 🥕 1 small carrot, diced (80 g)
  • 🥔 1 small potato, diced (120 g)
  • 🧄 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 💧 500 ml water or light stock
  • 🟫 90 g Japanese curry roux blocks (mild or medium)
  • 🍯 1 tsp honey (optional)

Preparation

  • 1️⃣ Season & bread: Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in egg, then coat evenly with panko.
  • 2️⃣ Fry chicken: Heat oil to 170°C. Fry 3–4 min per side until golden brown and crispy (internal temp ~70°C). Drain on rack; keep warm.

Advice

Use fresh panko, not fine breadcrumbs, for the crispiest crust. 🍞

Why it works 💡
Panko’s airy structure creates bigger bubbles during frying, making the coating lighter and crunchier.

Twist 🌶️
Add 1 tsp curry powder or ½ tsp garam masala to deepen flavor and warmth.
