Rinse the Sushi Rice under cold water until it runs clear. (This prevents the rice from becoming stodgy.) Place in a pot with 250ml 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. On completion, remove from the heat and fluff up with a fork.

Boil a full kettle. Place a pot over a 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.
GOLDEN PORK
While the Onion and Apple mixture is frying, whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with 1 tsp of water. Prepare two more shallow dishes: one containing the Cornflour (seasoned lightly) and the other containing the breadcrumbs. Coat the pork schnitzel in the cornflour first, then in the egg, and lastly in the breadcrumbs. When passing through the breadcrumbs, press it into the meat so it sticks and coats evenly. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the schnitzel for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan on completion, drain on paper towel, and season.

Submerge the shelled edamame beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Drain on completion. Dilute the Chicken/" title="View all our recipes with Chicken at eCook">Chicken stock with 160ml of boiling water. Once the Onion and Apple have softened slightly, stir in the grated garlic, ½ of the sliced Fresh Chilli and the katsu spice blend. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting occasionally. Stir through the katsu sauce base until fully incorporated. Increase the heat to a medium-high heat and gradually stir in the diluted stock. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Place the sauce into a blender, pulse until smooth, and season. If the mixture is too thick, add warm water in 10ml increments to get a saucy smooth consistency.
