My girlfriend Kristi craves all things crispy, meaty, salty/spicy/sweet, but this dish is close to her heart. She is from Hawaii and she is of Japanese descent. Chicken Katsu is one of her favorite comfort foods, so I had to cook it up.
Here we go people...the first video segment. One man show filmed on my Treo, the word of the day is BUDGET. I walk you through marinating the chicken with Salt, White Pepper, Lime, Chile,Fresh Garlic, Sweet Sot Sauce & Honey. Above is the final product with a quick Cucumber Pickled Ginger Salad
Drop me a comment and tell me how silly I look, or how much you are drooling on your desk right now. . . .CLEAN YO PLATE!
Clean Yo Plate (CYP) was started by Ben Osher as an outlet for his interest in all things culinary. Influenced by the passionate cooking of his mother, Ben’s culinary curiosity developed as a young lad. CYP reflects Ben’s brief professional history in the restaurant biz with various stints as a line cook, salad boy, pizza dude, fry boy, prep bitch, and dishwasher at restaurants and catering establishments in New York, Los Angeles, and Pittsburgh for a combined 3-4 years. Focusing primarily on home cooking, with a rare private catering gig here and there, he cooks a wide gamut of fare from simple quick breakfasts to quasi-haute feasts. Inspired by the juxtaposition of sweet and spicy, Ben spends countless hours in the kitchen toiling with different ingredients and methods in the constant pursuit of FLAVOR and BEAUTY.
