READY THE RICE
Boil the kettle. Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 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.
THE CRUNCH FACTOR
Place the chopped 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).
CRUMBED CHICKEN
Place another pan over medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed chicken until browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season. Slice just before serving.

Once the onion & apple have softened slightly, stir in ½ the sliced chilli (to taste), 140ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7of boiling water, and the katsu spice blend. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Stir through the katsu sauce base and the coconut cream. 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.
CARROT SALAD
In a bowl, combine the vinegar, a sweetener (to taste), and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the shredded leaves, the carrot matchsticks, and seasoning.

Plate up the rice, top with the sliced chicken, and cover in the curry sauce. Serve alongside the carrot matchstick salad. Sprinkle over the toasted cashews and the remaining chilli (to taste).
