Rather like Austria’s schnitzel, katsu is a crispy fried cutlet of (usually) meat or fish coated with Japanese panko breadcrumbs. In 2020, the popular UK restaurant chain Wagamama released the recipe for their most popular dish – Chicken Katsu Curry. So, for the most part we satisfy our global cuisine cravings by taking the DIY route. And the guilt from the packaging is real (even if most is now compostable). It’s a real treat to do something normal like eat someone else’s food – even if we have to wash the dishes.īut it can get a bit pricey. And we have taken advantage of a few of the higher-end restaurants that have creatively adapted to pandemic restrictions. Whether at home or as a takeaway, slurpy bowls of steaming noodles and crispy meat-filled empanadas have helped us feel connected and comforted through food.Īlthough I make most of our meals, we do occasionally eat from trusted takeaways. With travel a distant memory for most of us, many have opted for the passport-free option of eating more globally.
They’re mostly completely random and really, really good.Easy Katsu Curry Sauce for aaaall the vegetables and proteins! This vibrant Japanese-style sauce is nutritious and uber-delicious. They’re pre-gaming me for all the goat-cheese stuffed bacon wrapped dates I will eat on New Year’s Eve. They’re my MUST EAT VEGETABLES BUT CAN’T DO GREENS life-saving winter meal.
They’re my warm up back into the game of healthy person life. So these healthy Lentil Curry Bowls are like food giving me a hug again. And by work I mean food and cooking, because my life is so weird and wonderful in that way. Work is like a whole untouched universe that my eyes haven’t even looked at for what feels like for-ev-er. And there went a week! I’m feeling better, but whoa. Last weekend (or a year ago? geez, it feels like forever since that happened) Bjork and I went on mini-vacation up north, then I took a four-day-no-work sick vacation on the couch, and somewhere in there four family Christmas celebrations happened along with the weekend and cold temperatures requiring full-time house hibernation with blankets and pajamas and slippers and hot tea. In real life talk, I have been totally out of commission for the last week or so, as I might have casually mentioned a few times like I do when I’m sick.
You could make one part (curry), two parts (curry and roasted carrots), or all parts (curry and roasted carrots and sauce) – mmkay I have to get going though, because those discounted ornaments? Suhhh glittery. And bonus! It has the potential to be uniquely flavored and textured every time you make it based on what’s striking your food fancy and/or how much time you have before you have to drive over Target to buy those discounted Christmas decorations. It has spicy, coolness, comfort food, and nutritional powerhouse written all over it. This is less of a recipe and more of a food combination that has got it going on. But your mouth has better things to be doing than saying that long jumble of a food name, such as a) eating said food, b) talking about it with me, and b) smiling about the avocado slices, so we’ll just say Lentil Curry Bowl and know that all those other yums come included. It should probably be called, in its truest deepest most honest self –> Rice and Lentil Curry Bowls with Spicy Roasted Carrots, Avocado, and Cashew Cilantro Sauce. THIS being one of my most obnoxiously crazy, out of control, too many things all in one bowl but SO GOOD food creations of 2014.
