I started cooking not too long ago. So I only do simple cooking. Now I enjoy cooking & saving money at the same time.
chicken tender ($ 7.46) + 5 eggs + Flour. + Panko bread crumbs ($2.99) + salt + pepper = 15 pieces of chicken katsu.
I love chicken katsu so much but it costs $12-18 at the restaurant for 2 pieces.
So I decided to make myself and it was super easy. (Got receipt from googling).
Looking forward to packing this as my lunch tomorrow.

Hell yeah
Love chicken katsu curry!
Yup, for the past 7 years I’ve brought my own leftovers to work instead of eating out or ordering in with colleagues. My wife and I buy “special” ingredients for weekends which is still much cheaper than eating out. Special I mean cuts of steak, heirloom tomatoes, imported brands etc versus canned/bagged food.
Great frugal meal. Goes great with thinly sliced cabbage as well.
my god this looks so good
So, how’d you make the sauce?
Make the same way but with pork cutlets, so good.
Wow, really? Who’d have thought
Chicken katsu is such a pain to make (well, to clean up after) so I commend you on this.
(Also, Japanese curry is my absolute favorite food so I had to upvote)
Plus it tastes better, and is better overall for you. Good for you.
So you freeze it raw and then fry it frozen or…?
get the pork belly from costco for like $27-$30. you can make chinese braised pork belly that will literally last one person for about 1.5-2weeks. serve with steamed rice (cover rice with braised juices) and chopped/sliced chinese sausage.
Ooooh that chicken looks so good!!
Looks yum
What brand curry do you use?
