Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless chicken breast or pork loin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 medium, peeled and sliced carrot
• 2 medium, peeled and cubed potatoes
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon, minced ginger
• 4 Japanese curry roux blocks
• 3.5 cups water
• 4 servings cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken or pork cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Coat each cutlet in flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally press it into the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat. Once the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), fry each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.

Step 5

In a separate large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot, stirring to coat them in the aromatics.

Step 7

Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook covered until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 8

Break the curry roux blocks into pieces and stir them into the pot until fully dissolved. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the curry thickens.

Step 9

Slice the fried cutlets into strips. Serve over a bed of cooked white rice, with the curry sauce ladled generously over the top.
