Instructions
Make the curry sauce: saute onion in a tablespoon of oil until soft, 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, cook 1 minute. Stir in curry powder and flour, cook 1 minute. Gradually add broth, soy sauce, and honey. Simmer 15 minutes until thickened. Blend until smooth if desired.
Set up a breading station: flour, beaten eggs, and panko in three shallow dishes. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in egg, then press into panko.
Tip: Press the panko firmly into the chicken. Use one hand for dry ingredients and one for wet to avoid clumpy fingers.
Heat oil to 350F in a large skillet. Fry the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165F internal). Drain on a wire rack.
Slice the katsu into strips. Serve over rice and ladle the curry sauce over one side, leaving the other side crispy.
