Directions

  1. Stir-fry the curry powder over low heat for 20 minutes or until dark brown while keeping it from burning.
  2. Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the flour and mix well.
    Stir-fry for about 40 minutes over low heat until brown to make a dark sauce.
  3. Cut the onion into thin slices. Heat the vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat and stir-fry the onion slices. When the liquid has boiled off, turn down the heat and continue to stir-fry until dark brown while keeping it from burning.
  4. Add the fond de veau to 【3】 and bring to a boil.
    Add 【1】, 【2】, and 【A】, and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat. Add the S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix and melt it completely. Turn on the heat again and simmer while stirring until the sauce becomes thick.
    *If the color is still light, add the caramel as necessary.
    【Chicken katsu】
    1. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour all over the chicken, dip it in the beaten egg, and cover it with panko.
    2. Heat the oil for deep frying in a pot of a sufficient size to 170°C.
    3. Deep fry the chicken katsu for 6-8 minutes. (Adjust the frying time depending on the chicken size.)
    4. Do not put all the katsu pieces into the oil at once as doing so will lower the oil temperature.
    5. Turn the katsu over several times and fry until it becomes golden brown, then drain off excess oil.
  6. Put the rice on a plate and the chicken katsu on top of the rice.
    Pour the black curry over it and top it with the cheese.
