Instructions
- To cook the rice, add 1 cup rice and two cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to very low and cover the pan. DON'T STIR THE RICE. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until all the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat. Remove the lid and cover the pan with a tea towel or paper towel and return the lid. (this will stop it becoming wet). Set aside while you cook everything else.
- Cook the Japanese Curry Sauce to the packet instructions. If they're in Japanese, just wing it - add a little water at a time - it thickens when hot, so just add a little at a time till you get a good thick pourable consistency. Cover and set aside while you prepare the cutlets.
- Using a kitchen mallet, pound the pork steaks to flatten a little and tenderise. Season with salt and pepper.
- Create a breading station with 3 separate bowls.Bowl 1: FlourBowl 2: Beaten egg, mixed with 1-2 tbsp waterBowl 3: Panko breadcrumbsDip the pork into the flour, shake off the excess then dip into the egg. Shake off the excess egg and then dip into the panko and coat well. Leave for a few minutes for the panko to 'set'. This will avoid it falling off while frying.
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan until just hot, not smoking. About 185ºC/370ºF.Carefully place each katsu cutlet into the oil, away from yourself. Let them fry for about 5-6 minutes each side until the pork is thoroughly cooked. Drain on paper towels and rest for a couple of minutes.
- To serve, cut the pork katsu into thick slices and arrange on the plate with the rice and a generous pouring of curry sauce.
