Baked Curry Katsu Don

The husband and I are big fans of Japanese curry! Somehow, it evokes that comforting feeling of warmth on a snowy winter day. I know it’s ironic talking about warmth from a country that only has one season, hot. But you get the drift. There are also other perks about making this, besides how good it taste.

It is incredibly simple to make. I like to serve mine with crispy baked chicken katsu for that added texture, but I’m not one who deep fry my food. I just prefer not to, to be a little nicer to my waistline. So in this recipe, I’ll show you how I usually make my crispy panko crusted chicken katsu, baked not fried.
