Chicken Katsu with Tonkatsu Sauce

Chicken Katsu or Tonkatsu is a popular Japanese dish that we can order from any Japanese restaurant.The word "katsu" meaning cutlet and "tonkatsu" meaning breaded and fried cutlet.Well, in Western world Chicken Katsu is like Breaded Chicken Stripe or Breaded Chicken Cutlet.Instead of using regular BBQ sauce ,I used Tonkatsu sauce as dipping sauce.This savory, delicious sauce has a thick consistency, and this dish is great when accompanied by steam white rice.Jasmine rice or calrose rice(Japanese rice) is ideal for this dish..This dish is also suitable for children who loves chicken nugget or chicken pop corn!!
