Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced into fillets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
- 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine or sushi rice)
- Tonkatsu sauce, to taste
- Vegetables (like shredded cabbage, sliced cucumber, or carrots) for garnish
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and slice the chicken breasts into fillets.
- Prepare three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for panko breadcrumbs.
- Coat each chicken fillet in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally press into panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry chicken fillets for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- To assemble, start with cooked rice, slice and place crispy chicken on top, garnish with vegetables, and drizzle with tonkatsu sauce.
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, keeping chicken separate from rice for crispiness.
- For reheating, air fry or use a hot oven, avoiding microwave to prevent sogginess.
- Enhance the meal with sides like miso soup or salad and consider adding sesame seeds or green onions for garnish.
- Customize Katsu Bowls with other proteins such as pork or tofu and various vegetables for added nutrition.
