Hey Blane, I have a msg. for you from my daughter - she's been waiting for you (or Trixxee) to try a recipe that looks so good to her, but nada so far.

She says it is chicken, sushi rice, gr. onions and is a bowl-type entree. I won't see the issue until I get off the road, so I can't help her.

But must say, it sounds good to me from her description. Can you figure out what recipe it is from the above??

That would be the Japanese Fried Chicken. I don't know why I thought it for pork when I first looked at it other than there is a recipe for pork for the almost the same thing floating around. Blane and I have both made the pork version. (I used pork tenderloin). It was fantastic. I first made it about 10 years ago before I knew C@H even existed. A friend had forwarded me the recipe. Here is the pork version.

Japanese Style Pork Cutlet

Recipe By :Cuisine Magazine
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:10
Categories : Pork-Ham

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 pound pork loin cutlets
1 1/2 cups medium grain rice
2 cups yellow onions -- sliced
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup mirin -- see "sauces"
1/2 cup soy sauce or oyster sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
4 slices fresh ginger
6 large eggs -- lightly beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch black pepper
2 1/2 cups panko (or bread crumbs)
1/4 cup oil
green onions -- chopped

Prepare rice according to package directions.

Before breading cutlets, beat the eggs in a shallow dish (like a pie plate), mix flour, salt and pepper in a second dish, and place the panko in a third dish.

Pound cutlets between sheets of plastic wrap until 1/4-inch thick. Bread cutlets by first dredging both sides in flour mixture, then dipping into the egg, and following with the panko. Then "double bread," dipping into the egg, then panko again. Transfer to a rack or plate until ready to fry. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a skillet.

Fry cutlets in batches, browning on both sides until cooked through, 6-8 minutes total. Transfer cutlets to a cooling rack set over paper towels to drain.

Simmer onion, broth, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and ginger in a large saute pan over medium-low heat until onion is soft, 15 minutes.

To serve, place 2 cutlets in the simmering broth (if desired); cook 1 minute to warm through. Remove and slice cutlets, place on top of some rice, ladle with broth, and sprinkle with green onions.

No, this is the many years old pork one but the recipes are incredibly similar. When I first saw the issue I thought it was the same recipe.

Maybe Blane can scan a copy of the current chicken version?

Jean, it's the Japanese fried chicken from issue 98. It so happens I'm making it tonight. I'll post a review later. Do you want a scan of the recipe?

Here it is, you can just copy it to your LC when you get home. I figure Blane will have wonderful pictures to go with it.

For the chicken, slice breasts crosswise into two pieces. Pound pieces between sheets of plastic wrap into ¼-inch-thick cutlets using the flat side of a meat mallet.Combine flour, salt, and ½ tsp. pepper in a shallow dish. Beat eggs with water in another shallow dish. Place panko in a third dish.

I don't think a review is necessary, this is basically the same recipe as the Japanese pork cutlets and just as delicious. It's even better the next day. The rice is what you would expect sticky/sushi rice to taste like, I used basmati so it didn't stick like it should have. A keeper!
