Chicken Katsu (チキンカツ) 日式炸鸡排 - AFF Japan

I have never post a Japanese dish before in my blog :p Can you imagine that i love Japanese food but never cook them myself. I only make sushi once a while and that all. 
Following Wendy's Malaysia Food Fest i learned and shared all Malaysian very authentic food from state to state and again now am following her to Asian Food Fest to learn more from country to country within Asian. This month is food in Japan and the host is Alan from travelling- foodies
没在这上过日本料理的贴子呢!! 我家人爱吃日本料理不过不知道为什么没自己动手准备过, 除了做寿司!! 想想可能是觉得很难...还是买不到日式的素材和酱料还是懒呢.. 哈哈!!
现在也该动手了, 我家宝贝们喜欢炸的日本料理. 随着WendyAFF活动 (主持人是Alan, 本月的日本料理) 我才发现其实做日本料理不难.只要找对素材和找对食谱就能做出一道美味的好菜了.


Chicken Katsu, can i say this is a very delicious and easy to prepare dish. The main ingredient is just chicken breast, it is breaded with flour, egg, panko and deep fried, the chicken transform into a crispy, juicy satisfying meal. (I quoted Nami's words :p) 
These Chicken Katsu is so tasty and my kids love it.

Crispy outside and moist and juicy inside.

Chicken Katsu (チキンカツ) 日式炸鸡排
recipe source. adapted from Just One Cookbook

Ingredients:

3 chicken breast (1.6 lb)
2 Tbsp sake (i use chinese cooking wine)
sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
All purpose flour
2 eggs
Panko (i use three pieces of frozen homemade white bread cut away the crust and blend them into crumbs in a processor)
Oil for deep frying
Tonkatsu sauce

To Do:

1. Rinse the chicken, pat dry with a paper towel. Cut the chicken diagonally. With this cutting technique each piece will have more surface so it will cook faster.

2. Put the chicken in a bowl and add sake, salt and pepper. Set aside for 15 minutes.

3. Dust the flour on the chicken and remove excess flour. Then dip it in beaten egg.

4.Lastly dredge the chicken in panko and remove the excess. If you have time let the chicken sit in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. (i have not time, i cook the chicken straight away :p)

5. Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a cast iron skillet. (i use a pair of chopstick to test the oil to see if the oil is ready)

6. Put 2-3 pieces at a time. If you put too many chicken pieces, the temperature of the oil will drop too quickly and the chicken will end up absorbing too much oil.

7. Deep fry until both sides are golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack or a lined tray. Between batches, make sure to pick up breadcrumbs. When you don't pick up the breadcrumbs will get burnt and the oil will get darker. Make sure to keep the oil clean throughout deep frying. r


Enjoying this with some tonkatsu sauce.

  10. Not only I love chicken katsu, my children also love them too! My gf taught me another way of preparing tonkatsu sauce, ie Worcestershire sauce, ketchup sauce & light soy sauce. And I made once to dip with my chicken katsu too but didn't take any photos as when I finished prepared it was already too late for dinner, all the hungry mouths were waiting to be fed, haha!

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
