Japanese Katsu Curry

By: Chris Ash

Flour + spice coat beef cubes and brown in a pan - deglaze pan with left over red wine if you have, or small amount of stock or hot water
Add beef to slow cooker once finished along with cubed potatoes + carrots and roughly chopped onions. Add enough (chicken or beef or vegetable) stock to cover contents along with S&B curry block. Note: can cook on low using stove top pot instead of slow cooker, you'll just need to stir occasionally
Make katsu (chicken or pork or beef or even turkey or tofu works). Coat in peices in flour+spice mix > rinse in egg mixture > coat in panko crumbs and shallow fry in pan
Cook rice or short cut and use a microwave packet.... the rice will be mixed with the curry so its not a stand out
Add rice, generous portion of curry mixture and chopped katsu to bowl. Top with tonkatsu sauce (+ sesame seeds and crispy onions - optional but delicious)
