Blue Dragon - Katsu Curry Mealkit

Homemade Katsu Curry, originally uploaded by chored.

Japanese Curry Rice and Katsu Curry are Japanese dishes that I really like. I had never even thought of attempting to make Katsu Curry at home until we saw the Blue Dragon Katsu Curry Mealkit in Sainsbury's.

In the kit you get:

2 x Curry Sauce pouches
2 x Boil in the bag rice
Panko breadcrumb mix

You also need:

Chicken/Sweet Potato/Butternut Squash
2 Eggs
Oil for frying

It's all ready meal ingredients, which seems a bit like cheating, but next time we'll try and do things from scratch, now that we know it's possible to make this at home.

You need to boil the rice on its own. Beat the eggs together and then dip the chicken/sweet potato/butternut squash into the eggs and then into the Panko breadcrumb mix, then stick that into some oil and fry it until it's crispy and golden brown. Heat the sauce up in a pan.

To serve, put the rice on a plate, put the katsu on top (slice up the chicken) and then add the curry sauce over the top.

As I said before, it is a bit of a cheat since it's basically a ready meal, but next time it should be easy enough to make the breadcrumbs and I'm sure I can get a recipe for Japanese Curry sauce.

Anyway, the mealkit is pretty tasty, it's great fun and the sauce is good, but not amazing, so I'd give the whole thing 3.5/5
