PICKLED CARROTS
In a bowl, combine the vinegar and 15ml of water. Add the carrot ribbons and seasoning, then toss to combine. Set aside in the fridge.
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. Fluff with a fork and cover.
COCONUT & CASHEW
Place the coconut flakes & cashews in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
ONION & APPLE
Return the pan to 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 SCHNITTY
Place a pan over medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the schnitzels until crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
KEEP CALM AND KATSU
Once the onion & apple have softened slightly, stir in ½ the sliced chilli (to taste), 140ml 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.
DINNER IS READY
Plate up the rice, top with the crispy schnitzels, and cover in the curry sauce. Serve alongside the pickled carrot ribbons. Sprinkle over the toasted coconut & cashews and the chopped coriander. Garnish with the remaining chilli (to taste).
