Pork Katsu Curry

Cultural Context

Pork Katsu Curry is a beloved dish in Japan, combining two iconic elements: katsu (breaded and fried meat) and curry, which was introduced to Japan in the late 19th century. This dish reflects the fusion of Western and Japanese culinary traditions, often served with rice and a side of shredded cabbage. Today, it enjoys popularity not just in Japan but around the world, with variations including chicken and vegetarian options.

20g beef tallow
1 teaspoon grated garlic
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon curry powder
600ml water
2 pieces curry roux (medium spicy)
2 pork loin cutlets
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
bread crumbs as needed
oil for frying
2 servings of rice
fukujinzuke (Japanese pickles) to taste
rakkyou (pickled shallots) to taste

panko breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: whole wheat breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: regular breadcrumbs

Whole wheat breadcrumbs add fiber and nutrients.

pork loin

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Chicken breast is leaner, while pork shoulder is more economical.

curry powder

🥗Healthier: homemade curry blend

💰Cheaper: store-brand curry powder

Homemade blends can be fresher and tailored to taste.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: canola oil

💰Cheaper: sunflower oil

Canola oil is healthier with a higher smoke point.

1

Chop the onion and celery into rough pieces.

2

Peel and grate the apple.

3

Cut the potato into small chunks and soak in water to remove bitterness.

4

Heat the beef tallow in a pot. Once melted, add the chopped onion and celery, sprinkle with salt, and sauté over medium heat until caramelized. Add the grated garlic and ginger, along with the grated apple, and sauté until moisture reduces.

5

Add the curry powder to the pot, mix well, then add water and the soaked potato. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the curry roux until dissolved.

6

For the pork cutlets, make incisions in the meat to prevent shrinking during frying. Season with salt and pepper. Mix egg, water, and flour to create a batter. Dip the meat in the batter, then coat with bread crumbs.

7

Fry the breaded pork in oil at 170°C for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown.

8

To serve, place rice on a plate, pour the curry over it, and top with sliced pork cutlet. Garnish with fukujinzuke and rakkyou if desired.
