What is Chicken Katsu

Chicken katsu is made of chicken breast covered with flour, egg, and panko. Then deep fry to get golden brown color. Similar to Tonkatsu, the outside is so crispy, and the inside is juicy. Katsu means cutlet in Japanese. It is great for a side of warm cooked rice.

In Japan, tonkatsu is of course widespread but there are so many restaurants or bakery store has menu that uses chicken katsu. Chicken Katsu sand(sandwich) is a one of the famous ones.

Difference between Tonkatsu and Chicken Katsu

What is the difference between tonkatsu and chicken katsu? Which do I see the most in Japan?

The answer is tonkatsu uses pork and chicken katsu uses chicken. That’s the difference. The most type you see in Japan or when people say ‘Katsu’, so many times it means ‘Tonkatsu’. Both are so tasty and eaten same ways, such as adding tonkatsu sauce, on top of rice bowl, and by itself!

Wanna try something new😌? When people hear Kit Wanna try something new😌?

When people hear Kitsune don, it sounds weird because if you translate Kitsune, it simply means fox. But wait! Kitsune came from the look of the meal. 

There are some theories for why it is called ‘Kitsune’. One is Aburaage, deep-fried tofu pouch, is one of the fox’s favorite foods in folktales. The other is that Aburaage looks similar to a fox.

This meal is quite easy to make and tasty :) If you want to try a new recipe, this is a good one🤩

Great recipe for the curry lovers!

Hi everyone🥺 and I see some new friends in my IG❤️ Welcome :)
I hope you had lovely new years! How is 2023 going so far? 

Today, I want to share my go-to bento meal, dry curry!
Dry curry is a café food that is originally from Japan. This is great for lunch, dinner, and bento boxes!

Curry is a beloved food in Japan and there are tons of curry recipes created in Japan. Keema Curry is a popular Indian dish in Japan that uses minced meat, but there is a ‘DEY CURRY’ that is similar to Keema curry. Dry curry is one of the popular curry varieties that Japanese people love!

This is my last post for THE YEAR and I want to say thank you so much for following and supporting me! My goal for next year is to share more recipes and connect with all of you more ☺️💕 Have a great end of the year!

As a last post, I really want to introduce Chinjao Rosu. One of the king meals that Japanese people love so much! 

Chinjao Rosu is a popular Chinese food as well as Mapo Tofu in Japan. Made from beef(or pork), green pepper and bamboo shoot then stir fried. This is loved by so many generations in Japan, so there are some instant Chinjao Rosu options that you can buy at any grocery store in Japan and make it in just 15-20 minutes! But it is also easy to make all by yourself 🥺🔥
