• Boil the kettle. Grate carrot. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Add jasmine rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12-14 minutes. Drain, rinse with warm water and set aside. • Meanwhile, 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 cooked through, 12-15 minutes. 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-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to 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 rice wine vinegar and the sesame oil. Sprinkle with diced bacon and toss to combine. Season to taste. • Slice pork schnitzel. • Divide rapid rice between bowls. Top with pork, katsu sauce and creamy bacon slaw. Garnish with crispy shallots to serve. Enjoy!
