This recipe story links to my first encounter with the dish tonkatsu decades ago (not the recipe below) when catering at a huge Japanese company in the UK, but it also links to how companies like wagamama demonstrate their purpose so important to today’s society that I believe passionately in. 


Apart from that, it is a bangingly popular, great dish so make it immediately!

 

You will need:

120g rice (any rice will do!)

2 skinless chicken breasts

2 eggs, lightly beaten

100g panko breadcrumbs

75ml vegetable oil, for deep-frying

40g mixed salad leaves

 

for the sauce (using our paste)

120g katsu paste

120ml coconut milk

 

for the sauce (from scratch)

2–3 tbsp vegetable oil

1 onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

2.5cm piece of ginger, peeled + grated

1 tsp turmeric

2 heaped tbsp mild curry powder

1 tbsp plain flour

split chicken fillets in half + coat in flour. soak each one in egg, then dip into breadcrumbs. make sure all sides of the chicken are covered, then put into the pan. cook fillets until golden brown
