Pork Katsu Curry is a favourite dinner at our house. The crispy pork goes so nicely with the traditional Japanese curry sauce.
When I discovered the delicious Golden Curry mix and how easy it was to make Japanese curry at home I was so excited. Pork Katsu Curry is one of the meals I always ordered when I was out at Japanese restaurants. Now I know how to make it at home.
One trick I love to do when crumbing pork, chicken or fish is to put it into a plastic bag then sprinkle in the flour and shake, then crack in an egg and shake again. (This saves mess and dishes) After that put the panko crumbs on a plate and coat each piece in the panko crumb.
The Golden Curry is easy to make and you can just follow the instructions on the back of the packet if you are confused as to how much water etc and you need to use. There is two different size boxes you can buy 92g or 240g this recipe to serve 4 people uses the smaller packet.
I serve my katsu curry with shredded cabbage, spring onion and a big dose of kewpie mayo, my favourite!
Common questions about Pork Katsu Curry:
Is this meal kid friendly? Yes! Here is the portion I did for my kids aged 2 and 5. They loved the meal! I gave them slightly less curry and added some peas and corn instead.
Could I add different vegetables to this meal? Absolutely. You could bulk this meal up by adding broccoli, cauliflower and potatoes. I like to keep it traditional and use onions and carrots.
