Sunbasket is proud to source the organic ingredients indicated below. On the rare occasion we are unable to meet our organic promise, we'll put a note in your bag.
  • 1 cup jade rice
  • 4 chicken cutlets (about ¼ pound each)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat panko
  • 1 pasture-raised organic egg
  • 1 or 2 cloves peeled fresh garlic
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger
  • 3 or 4 heads baby bok choy
  • 3 or 4 sprigs fresh cilantro
  • 1½ teaspoons sesame oil
  • Sunbasket spicy chile mayo (paleo mayo - gochujang)
Ingredient IQ
Gochujang is a spicy-sweet Korean hot sauce that gives our chile mayo a kick we love. But if anyone in your family is not a fan of spicy food, you can offer them the katsu with ketchup or plain mayonnaise for dipping.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

  • In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse the rice.
In a medium sauce pot, combine the rice and 1½ cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
While the rice cooks, prepare the chicken.

2

Prep the chicken

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • In separate shallow bowls or plates, spread the flour and panko in an even layer.
  • Crack the egg into another shallow bowl. With a whisk or fork, lightly beat until just blended.
Dredge the chicken in the flour, turning to coat; shake off any excess. Dip the chicken into the egg; let the excess drip off, then lightly press the chicken into the panko, coating all sides.

3

Cook the chicken

In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm ⅓ cup neutral oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Cut the chicken on the diagonal into 1-inch-wide strips before serving. Pour off the oil and wipe out the pan.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients.

4

Prep the remaining ingredients; cook the bok choy

  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon.
  • Grate or peel and finely chop enough ginger to measure 1 teaspoon.
  • Trim the root end from the bok choy; cut the bok choy crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro for garnish.
In the same pan used for the chicken, warm the sesame oil over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the bok choy and cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the chicken, rice, and bok choy to individual plates. Garnish with the cilantro and serve with the spicy chile mayonnaise.
