Food for Every Soul

Hello Helpers! Welcome back to another edition of Food for Every Soul by myself, Mayathefirst! In this series I interview people from the Help Force about their favorite and famous recipes. For this post, I decided to interview the following individual… He’s not only a well-known there-to-help member that contributed good time for Help Force, but an actual CPA beast. Being an ACP Legend, RPF Veteran, and more, he gained an immense amount of knowledge and experience in the army community. Thanks to his kind and friendly company he’s always provides, I decided, for this post, to interview none but the amazing HF Second Lieutenant: Sanya! (Thank you Rooboo for helping with this intro)

I started off by asking Sanya some questions about the recipe he decided to share with us today!


Welcome Sanya to the interview! Can you tell us what recipe you will talk about today?

Sanya: Today I’ll be showing off my Chicken Katsu recipe! :heartss:

Can you tell us why this recipe is important to you? Is it a family recipe, and is there any history or story behind it?

Sanya: Oh, I guess it’s important to me cause I really love Japanese culture and their food! It’s quite basic to make but requires a lot of technique and It just really proves that simplicity is king


Here comes the exciting part, the Recipe! (As explained in detail by Sanya!)

Ingredients

» 4Pc Chicken Breast

» Salt

» White Pepper

» Japanese Panko Breadcrumbs (use the high quality ones and if you see it has Japanese text on it, it’s generally a good brand)

» 2 eggs

» Splash of water

» Flour

» Rice

» Black Sesame seeds (Optional)

Steps

  1. First, you pound the chicken breasts so its nice and even cause chicken breast tend to be fat, when its nice and even make sure to salt and put white pepper on both sides and let it rest for 30 minutes. The reason for this is you want the salt to pernitrate the chicken 
  2. Then get 3 bowls in one bowl you pour in the flour then in another big bowl pour in the bread crumbs then in one bowl put in 2 eggs and a splash of water and whisk it well. 
  3. Then first you get the chicken breast and put it in the flour first (shake off the excess), then the eggs (shake off the excess) then the breadcrumbs (make sure to press hard on the chicken so the breadcrumbs will stick and be crispy) then deep fry it when the oil is hot you want the oil to be hot but not smoking hot like me  
  4. Then voilà! now you have Chicken Katsu! Place it on a bowl or a plate like I did then scoop up a Cup of rice (or Japanese rice if you’re rich) then sprinkle some black sesame seeds on top of the rice

Do you have any tips or tricks on making it or why people may like this recipe, or any memories from it? 

Sanya: My tip is to make sure the chicken breast is pounded nice and even so it cooks properly and well, my other tip is make sure not to crush the breadcrumbs in the bag cause those big breadcrumbs really helps make the chicken be crispy and I suggest you serve it alongside Katsu Sauce! and Practice and Practice and you’ll be like Chef Sanya Who’s stuck in a basement and cooks for Wynn…. yeah what an amazing life….

Thank you Sanya for doing this interview for us!

With that, we’ve reached the end of the post. I know you wanted to read more XD but I will be back next time with more fresh and delicious content. If anyone would like to share a recipe with us, DM me with your ideas.
