Easy Plant-Based Crumbed Chick'n Katsudon

with Spring Onion Omelette & Pickled Ginger

It’s pretty tough to beat the rich flavour and crispy texture of Japanese-style katsu. In this riff on the dish, we coat plant-based chicken thigh in a panko crust, then shallow-fry until crunchy and golden brown on the outside and juicy inside. Pair with a fluffy omelette for satisfaction, guaranteed.

Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• In a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to the boil.
• Add jasmine rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
• Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat.
• Keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek.

Prep the chicken
2

• Meanwhile, place chicken thigh between two sheets of baking paper. Pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until an even thickness, about 1cm.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and the salt. In a second shallow bowl, whisk some of the egg (1 for 2 people / 2 for 4 people). In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs.
• Dip chicken into flour mixture to coat, then into the egg and finally in breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

Cook the omelette
3

• Thinly slice spring onion.
• In a medium bowl, add the remaining egg (2 for 2 people / 4 for 4 people), spring onion and the soy sauce (for the egg). Whisk to combine.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add egg mixture to pan, then allow to set around the edges, 1 minute.
• Gently fold the omelette and allow to finish cooking through, 1 minute. Transfer to a second plate.

Cook the chicken
4

• In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat base over medium-high heat.
• Cook plant-based crumbed chicken until golden and heated through, 2-3 minutes on each side.
• Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Toss the slaw
5

• While the plant-based crumbed chicken is cooking, combine shredded cabbage mix and Japanese dressing in a second medium bowl. Season to taste, then set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine sesame dressing and the soy sauce (for the dressing). Set aside.

Finish & serve
6

• Slice the plant-based crumbed chicken. Slice spring onion omelette in half.
• Divide rice and Japanese slaw between plates. Top with spring onion omelette and plant-based crumbed chicken. Drizzle with sesame-soy dressing.
• Garnish with pickled ginger to serve. Enjoy!
