Chicken katsudon - Japanese fried breaded chicken with sauce

This is deep fried, breaded chicken fillets served with sauce and eggs. The little ones liked it without the sauce. You got to really keep your eyes open after frying the chicken. Or else they may ‘DISAPPEAR’ as half of ours did!!!

Clean and wipe chicken breast to remove excess water. Make thin slices of the chicken. You can cut cross wise. But then it is so tedious to bread each one of those.  So, I cut the chicken first into 3 thin slices and then into smaller pieces. 7 pieces in total. Mix the flour, salt and pepper. Get three bowls. One each for seasoned flour, beaten eggs and the bread crumbs. Dip each piece of chicken in the flour first, then in egg and last in bread crumbs. Dip once again in eggs and crumbs. This double dipping gives a nice, crispy coating. After finishing all, deep fry till golden. Cut into fingers and set aside.

Slice the onion and ginger. It need not be very thin. Mix stock cube, sliced onion, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and water in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Add pepper to taste. Add the fried chicken, pour leftover eggs on top, cover and cook till eggs are done to your likeness. Serve hot with rice.
