It was an open, cafe-like setting with just a few chairs, and the chef made everything on a grill, out in the open for everyone to see. There used to be a small Japanese restaurant in the Christchurch square, tucked away in a small alley. The first time I had chicken katsu was in New Zealand. The idea was to marry two popular Japanese dishes in a unique and inventive way and of course have something amazing come out of it! 🙂

And besides I’m using a homemade cheats tonkatsu sauce. I’ve put my own spin on it, so it’s not the authentic Japanese dish. So it’s Japanese-style fried chicken, and it’s served with Tonkatsu sauce, which is a sweet and spicy fruit-based sauce that you can easily find in Asian stores.Īnd let me also say that this recipe is inspired by the Japanese chicken katsu. So what is Chicken Katsu you ask? Originating from Japan, it’s deep fried, flattened and breaded (usually panko) chicken cutlets, usually made with chicken thighs.

I have previously shared my Teriyaki Steak Sushi Burger recipe on this blog before (I updated some of those pictures the other day too), and today I’m sharing the chicken version, Chicken Katsu Sushi Burger! Sushi rolls of course, and then sushi rice bowls, and most of all these fantastic Sushi Burgers! As you guys may have noticed, we’ve been eating our fair share of sushi at home these days.
