Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water, pop on a lid, and place over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from the heat and toss through ½ the chopped coriander.
SAUCY
Boil the kettle. Place a pot over medium-low heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion and diced Apple for about 10 minutes with a lid on until slightly softened, shifting occasionally.
Chicken
While the onion mixture is frying, pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin or bottle to create an even thickness. Whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with 1 tsp of water. Prepare two more shallow dishes: one containing the Cornflour and the other containing the breadcrumbs. Coat the chicken in the cornflour first, then in the egg, and lastly in the breadcrumbs. Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the chicken breast for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season.

Once the Onion and Apple have softened slightly, stir in ½ the sliced chilli (to taste), 160ml of boiling water, and the katsu spice blend. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting occasionally. Stir through the katsu sauce base. Increase the heat to a medium-high heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Pour in a blender and pulse until smooth. Season to taste. If the mixture is too thick, add warm water in 10ml increments. Cover to keep warm.
