Cooking Instructions:

1. TO COOK THE CHICKEN:

Remove the free-range chicken breasts from their packaging and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally by holding flat on a board and slicing through sideways. Mix 3 tbsps of flour in a bowl with salt and pepper. Break the egg into another bowl and whisk with a fork. Spread panko breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip each chicken piece in flour mix and shake off excess, then dip in egg mix and allow excess to drip off. Finally roll in panko crumbs and coat well. Heat 4-5 Tbsps of cooking oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium high heat. Once hot add the chicken pieces and fry for 2-3 mins on each side or until cooked through - reducing the heat as necessary to stop the crumbs from burning. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Before serving finely slice.
2. TO COOK THE RICE:

Microwave option (preferred): Open the bag of steamed rice and add to a microwave safe bowl, cover and cook on high (750W) for 2-3 mins. Pan method: Open the bag of steamed rice breaking up any clumps by squeezing gently. Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot add the rice and cook for 2-3 mins until hot.
3. TO PREPARE THE SESAME GINGERED CABBAGE:

Tip the red and green cabbage into a bowl. Thinly slice the spring onions on the diagonal. Add the spring onion and edamame beans to the bowl. Shake the sesame ginger dressing and stir into the salad to combine well.
TO SERVE:

Spoon rice onto plates. Add a serving of sesame gingered cabbage salad and lastly the chicken pieces. Pour katsu sauce over chicken.
