CORIANDER RICE
Boil the kettle. Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Add ½ the chopped coriander, fluff with a fork, and cover.
ONION & APPLE
Place a pot over medium-low heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion and the diced apple, covered, until slightly softened, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally).
GOLDEN FISHCAKES
Place a pan over medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the fishcakes until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Season.
KEEP CALM AND KATSU
Once the onion & apple have softened slightly, stir in ½ the sliced chilli (to taste), 160ml of boiling water, and the Katsu spice blend. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Stir through the Katsu sauce base. Increase the heat to medium-high heat and simmer until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Pour into a blender and pulse until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add warm water in 10ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season, cover, and set aside.
PINING FOR PINEAPPLE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the drained pineapple rings until charred, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
