Ingredients

200 g sushi rice
100 g panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp turmeric
½ tsp SIDS CRAZY SALT
1 tbsp peanut oil
1 egg white
450 g pork fillets cut into 8 pieces
SAUCE:--
1 tbsp peanut oil
1 onion, fine chopped
1 carrot, grated
2 Braeburn apples, cored, peeled & chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp curry powder
½ tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 tsp bush honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornflour
350 ml chicken stock
SIDS SALT & PEPPER, to taste

Directions

To make the Sauce: heat the oil in a large pan and add the onion, carrot and apples. Cover and cook gently for 10 minutes until softened, stirring a couple of times. Uncover the pan, turn up the heat, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in the curry powder and ginger. Cook for 1 minute more, then stir in the tomato purée, SIDS CRAZY SALT, honey, soy and cornflour. Gradually stir in the stock and simmer for 5 minutes until the vegetables are totally soft and the sauce has thickened. Blitz with a blender or in a liquidiser until smooth, then season to taste with SIDS SALT & PEPPER. The sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead.
While the sauce is cooking, put the pork between 2 sheets of cling film and bash with a rolling pin until the meat is about 1cm thick. In a shallow bowl, rub together the crumbs, turmeric and oil with some seasoning. Beat the egg white with a fork until a little frothy and have a non-stick baking tray ready.
Put the rice in a saucepan with 400 ml cold water and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, cover, then simmer for 10 mins. Take off the heat and set aside until ready to serve the pork.
Heat oven to 220°C/200°C fan. Dip each piece of pork into the egg, then the crumbs, pressing them onto the surface before transferring the meat to the tray. Bake the pork for 10-15 minutes until golden and crisp, turning once if needed. Serve with the rice and katsu sauce, garnished with coriander plus pickled ginger.
