Japanese Chicken Curry with Rice

Ingredients for Japanese chicken curry with rice (for 3 to 4 people)

• 300 g chicken breast
• 1 egg
• 100 g panko breadcrumbs (available on HelloAsia.ch)
• 1 carrot
• 3 potatoes
• 1 large onion
• 60 g Japanese curry cubes (4 cubes)
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 tsp chili powder (optional)

Preparing Japanese Chicken Curry with Rice

1. Prepare the ingredients

Peel and wash the vegetables, then cut the carrots and potatoes into cubes. Cut the onion into quarters. Slice the chicken breast into thick pieces.

2. Prepare the crispy chicken

Beat the egg. Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten egg, then coat them in panko breadcrumbs. Fry in oil until beautifully golden on both sides.

3. Cook the curry

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a saucepan. Sauté the carrots for 5 minutes, then add the potatoes, onions, and salt. Cook for 3 minutes. Add 450 ml water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat, add the Japanese curry cubes, and stir until completely melted. Return to low heat and allow the sauce to thicken for 5 minutes. Season to taste and add chili powder if desired.

4. Cook the rice

Rinse the rice 1 to 2 times, then cook it using your usual method.

5. Plate the dish

Place a portion of rice in the center of the plate. Arrange the crispy chicken slices on top. Spoon the curry sauce generously over the dish and arrange the vegetables around it.

Tasty tips

• Replace chicken breast with chicken thigh for a juicier result.
• Add sesame seeds to the panko breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
• Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your preferred level of heat.
