Kcal
- 4 boneless chicken cutlets, Halal-certified (200g/7oz each)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup (120g) gluten-free flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups (200g) gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup (60ml) gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tbsp (30g) sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15g) tomato paste
- 1 tsp (5g) ground mustard
- 1/4 small cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Begin by gently patting the chicken cutlets dry with a paper towel. Season them lovingly with salt and pepper, allowing the flavors to embrace the meat. Set them aside, letting them absorb the seasoning.
- Prepare your dredging station like a well-organized assembly line: place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. This is the secret to a perfectly crisp coating.
- With care, coat each cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip them into the eggs, ensuring they are fully moistened, then press them into the breadcrumbs, letting the crumbs adhere like a comforting blanket. Press gently to ensure a thorough coating.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Listen for the gentle sizzle as the oil warms, ready to transform the cutlets into golden delights.
- Place the cutlets in the skillet, frying them for 4-5 minutes on each side. Watch as they turn a beautiful golden brown, cooked through with care. If they brown too quickly, lower the heat slightly to ensure a perfect finish.
- For the sauce, combine the soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, tomato paste, and ground mustard in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let the flavors meld into a harmonious balance, slightly thickened and rich.
- To serve, arrange the chicken katsu with sliced cabbage and lemon wedges. Drizzle lovingly with the sauce, allowing it to enhance the crispy texture and umami flavors.
