konnichiwa it's nami from just one cook book back with another video for you and
today I'm going to share a recipe from popular netflix show midnight diner tokyo stories
I already share season 1 recipes on the blog and youtube channel and
you can find all the links in the description box below
now today's recipe sasami cheese katsu or fried chicken breasts with the cheese is a pretty common home cooked dish in Japan
we butterfly the chicken tender and wrap the cheese inside the meat and
then coat the chicken the flour egg and panko and deep-fried until golden brown just like a tonkatsu and chicken katsu
my mom used to make this dish for my lunchbox
and even though it was eaten at the room temperature it was still tasty
by the way I use the same type of cheese they use in the show but you can substitute
with the young gouda cheese, now let's get started
japanese processed cheese 4 oz (113 g)
cut the cheese into thin long sticks
8 chicken tenders 1lb (454 g)
remove extra tendon if necessary
slice into the thicker side and butterfly the chicken without slicing through to the other side
pound chicken with back of knife
season the chicken tender generously with salt and white pepper
place long pieces of cheese on each chicken tender, start rolling from one end
add 3~4 cups oil in a deep pot (I used a 3.5qt dutch oven) and set over medium-low heat
whisk 2 large eggs in a bowl
set out 1/4 cup flour and 1 cup panko in separate shallow bowls
working with one chicken tender at a time, coat it with flour
shake off any excess flour and dredge in eggs
then coat with the panko, pressing firmly, and shake off any excess panko
when the oil is heated at 340 ºF (170℃), or small bubbles appear around chopsticks inserted in the oil, gently add the chicken to the oil
fry chicken cheese katsu until the exterior is golden brown, the interior is just cooked through, 3 minutes total
transfer the chicken to a wire rack or a paper-towel-lined plate
between batches and as needed, clean the oil with a fine-mesh skimmer
continue the rest of the batches
slice the chicken cheese katsu in half diagonally
serve with shredded cabbage and cherry tomatoes
