  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (60 g)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (50 g)

  • 2 medium carrots, diced (150 g)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

  • 3 tablespoons curry powder

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (16 g)

  • 3 cups chicken stock (720 ml)

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar

  • Salt to taste

  • 3 cups cooked rice (about 450 g cooked)


Instructions

  • Pound chicken breasts to even thickness and season with salt and pepper.

  • Dredge chicken in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  • Fry chicken in oil over medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

  • Add garlic and ginger, cooking briefly until fragrant.
