Chicken Katsu with Cauliflower Fried Rice

 

Just made this tonight and it's my new favorite dinner....

 

Chicken Katsu with Cauliflower Fried Rice

 

I made a basic recipe for Chicken Katsu (flour, egg, panko) and added seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder) and toasted sesame seeds to the panko mixture. Then pan fry in mostly olive oil and some butter on medium/medium high heat until golden brown. Flip and brown the other side, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve with cauliflower fried rice, kimchi and sriracha plus a green veggie for a perfect dinner.

 

Cauliflower Fried Rice

 

Olive oil

1/3 onion, small chop

2 carrots, small chop

1/2 zucchini, small chop

Green onion, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-2 T ginger, minced

Cauliflower rice (frozen)

2 eggs, scrambled

Tamari or low sodium soy sauce

Toasted sesame seeds

 

Saute onion in olive oil over medium heat. Add carrot, zucchini and green onion. When almost done, add more oil, ginger and garlic. After a few minutes add ¾ bag of frozen cauliflower rice. Stir and heat for several minutes. When almost ready to serve, push everything to the side and melt 1 T butter in the pan. Add scrambled eggs and saute. Once cooked all the way, mix in with other ingredients. Sprinkle tamari and stir to combine. Finish with toasted sesame seeds and serve with sriracha and kimchi.
