<\/a><\/p>\nChicken Katsu Don Recipe Ingredients:<\/p>\n 200g (7oz or 4) chicken tenders [ I used 2 chicken breast – sliced into 1\/2 sideways to mk it thinner for easy cooking] 1\/2 onion Seasonings Instructions:<\/p>\n Dust salt and pepper on chicken tenders and dredge flour, eggs and panko.<\/p>\n Heat \u00bd inch of oil in a frying pan and deep fry at 350F (180C) until golden brown. Take out the chicken and drain extra oil on paper towel.<\/p>\n Slice onion and make dashi stock.<\/p>\n In a frying pan, bring Seasonings and onion to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook onion until wilted.<\/p>\n Put chicken katsu in it and turn the heat up to medium high heat. Pour and distribute egg evenly.<\/p>\n When egg is half cooked, add mitsuba and turn off the heat. Serve rice in a Donburi bowl and put Chicken and egg mixture on top. Serve with Ichimi togarashi (chili pepper) on the side.<\/p>\n Of course, the food is as good as it looks!! hehe.. I’m so proud of myself!<\/p>\n ——————– BH was really proud of the colour combination of the bouquet ” Very nice colour combination right??!! I choose one leh!”<\/p>\n haha… I was happy again…but wondered y aren’t the roses RED? geez.. who on earth will give their Valentine GREEN flowers??!!! erm… according to BH, GREEN roses were the only ones left.. so I was like ” what does green rose mean? is it for break ups??” we googled it “The most significant and popular meaning of the green rose is fertility. The green color symbolizes richness, abundance and bounty. Green roses are a sign of plenty and copiousness.” (quote Flowermeaning<\/a>) Erm… ok… I hope this means I’ll have plenty of money and Chanel bags.. wahaha<\/p>\n As I admired the flowers… Bh took a look at his receipt and realised that…. the cashier didn’t even charge him for the roses which cost $19.99!! hahaha… lucky BH ( and me) , we got free roses on Vday! \ud83d\ude00 HAPPY Valentine’s Day indeed!<\/p>\n Everyday is Valentine’s Day… just that 14 Feb is MORE Valentine’s Day than others!
