Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 3 cups cooked short-grain white rice
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Gather all ingredients and cut the chicken breasts into even pieces (about 1-2 cm thick). This ensures even cooking. (Time: 5 minutes)
  2. Set up the breading station: Place the flour on one plate, the beaten eggs in a bowl, and the panko breadcrumbs on another plate. This arrangement makes breading easier. (Time: 2 minutes)
  3. Bread the chicken: Take a piece of chicken, coat it in flour, dip it in the egg, and roll it in the panko breadcrumbs until fully covered. Ensure the coating is not too thick. (Time: 5 minutes)
  4. Heat the oil: In a large pan, heat enough oil over medium heat to lightly cover the bottom. The oil is hot enough when small bubbles form when you hold a wooden spoon in it. (Time: 3-5 minutes)
  5. Fry the chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pieces as this can lower the oil temperature. (Time: 8 minutes)
  6. Drain: Remove the fried chicken pieces from the pan and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels. This removes excess oil and keeps the coating crispy. (Time: 2 minutes)
  7. Prepare the Tonkatsu sauce: In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. This sauce is the flavor enhancer of your dish. (Time: 5 minutes)
  8. Assemble the bowls: Serve the cooked rice portions in bowls, place the crispy Katsu pieces on top, and generously drizzle with the Tonkatsu sauce. You can garnish with pickled ginger or green onions if desired. (Time: 2 minutes)

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure the oil does not get too hot, as the coating can burn while the chicken remains raw inside. Use a heavy pan or fryer for even heat distribution.
