Cook the rice according to package instructions. Prepare the curry sauce: In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute. Stir in the curry powder and all-purpose flour, and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually add chicken stock while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add soy sauce and sugar, and let simmer on low heat for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens. For the chicken katsu: Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dredge each breast in all-purpose flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs. Heat 0.5 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. For the pickled radish: In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add thinly sliced radish and let sit while preparing the rest of the dish. To serve: Slice the chicken cutlets into strips. Divide the cooked rice among four bowls, and top with sliced katsu. Ladle curry sauce over the chicken and rice. Serve with pickled radish on the side.Perfect for: Meal planning, weekly preparation, home cooking Tags: Japanese, fried, curry, chickenThis Chicken Katsu Curry Rice Bowl recipe is designed for easy meal planning and preparation.
