Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. Add crushed peanuts and stir to combine.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• While rice is cooking, roughly chop Asian greens. • Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Trim green beans.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook green beans and carrot, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add Asian greens, ginger paste and the soy sauce. Toss until greens are just wilted, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. • Cook plant-based crumbed chicken until golden and heated through, 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.
• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat. Cook katsu paste and coconut milk, stirring, until combined, 1-2 minutes.
• Divide garlic-peanut rice between bowls. • Top with plant-based chick'n and ginger veggies. Pour over katsu curry sauce to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The katsu curry sauce was a standout for many, praised for its bold, well-balanced flavour that paired beautifully with the garlic-peanut rice. Some found the sauce too salty or overpowering, while others felt it was mild or lacked authentic Japanese flavour.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and straightforward meal to pull together, though a few noted it required more equipment than expected.
- Suggestions: If the sauce tastes too salty, try adding extra coconut milk to balance it out. Some also recommend using only half the ginger paste if you prefer a subtler flavour, and pouring the sauce on the side rather than over the dish to keep the crumbed chick'n crispy.
- Portions: A few felt there was not quite enough plant-based chick'n to go around, and some suggested doubling the curry sauce for a saucier result.
- Leftovers: The plant-based chicken does not reheat well in the microwave, becoming hard and inedible, so it is best enjoyed fresh.
