• To a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to the boil. • Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek! • Meanwhile, grate carrot. • In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg, plain flour, curry powder and a pinch of salt until combined. In a second shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and olive oil (2tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people). TIP: No air fryer? Leave the oil out of the panko mixture!
• Dip pork schnitzel into egg mixture, and then into breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate. • Set your air fryer to 200°C. Place crumbed pork into air fryer basket and cook until golden and cook, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through, 6-8 minutes (cook in batches if necessary). TIP: No air fryer? Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. When oil is hot, cook pork schnitzels in batches until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes each side.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. • Add katsu paste, the brown sugar, water and butter. Cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • In a large bowl, combined shredded cabbage mix, carrot, mayonnaise, a drizzle of vinegar and the sesame oil. Season to taste.
• Slice pork schnitzel. • Divide rapid rice between bowls. Top with pork, katsu sauce and creamy slaw. Garnish with crispy shallots to serve. Enjoy!
