Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, try this healthy Baked Chicken Katsu and Fish Katsu at home.
It’s happening. It’s two weeks before my check-up and I’m craving everything. I’m craving cakes, sushi, ice creams, and cheeeese! We had an advance celebration of Twinkle’s birthday on thursday and friday and I had such a wonderful cheat day at Tali Beach (will tell you all about it soon). Then Rome treated us to a buffet lunch last Sunday and I went crazy on the sushi and dessert. Oh my! I didn’t have a lot of tummy space, though, so even if I was up to my ears in sushi and cake, I don’t think I’ve eaten a lot.
I got back on track immediately the day after by not missing any work-outs and avoiding fat, sugar, and carbs. But I’ve got to get ahold of myself. I’m planning to start on Shaun T’s Beachbody Insanity work out on the third week of this month. I know that involves a lot of work, discipline, and planning. –and PORTION CONTROL, which is really the hardest for me.
Anyway, aside from the sushi and cake, I was also craving for Katsu the other day. I wanted so much to go to Yabu but because I’m trying to avoid pork and fried food, I made a healthier version at home. I made Baked Chicken Katsu and Fish Katsu.
I used chicken breasts fillets for the Baked Chicken Katsu. For the Baked Fish Katsu, I used the Cream Dory I bought on a Buy 1 Take 1 promo at Shopwise Hypermarket.
The Katsu experience at home won’t be complete without our favorite tonkatsu sauce and our favorite roasted sesame dressing for the shredded cabbage. The cabbage is a little thick, though. I shredded them manually because I don’t have a food processor at home. I have to buy one soon. (Can you recommend a good brand?)
If you’re looking for a Miso Soup that has the same taste as those in restaurants, I suggest you buy Hanamaruki Miso. It’s already a mixture of fermented bean paste and bonito fish stock. It tastes so good and for the tofu, of course, I used Morinaga Tofu. So so good!
I love how the Baked Chicken Katsu and Baked Fish Katsu turned out. They’re crisp and juicy but I find them to be a little pale. Next time, I’ll try toasting the panko first to get that golden brown color like that of deep fried katsu.
The whole family loved our Katsu experience at home! Andami nilang nakain! I’m sure you and your family will love it too. Hopefully you’ll give my baked Katsu recipe a try in your own home.

They look really crisp…just like those fried ones.
Portion control is the key, and SO hard, isn’t it? It’d be doubly hard with this dish — so good! Wonderful recipe — thanks.
I love katsu, especially the baked version…yours look super delicious! Great meal with the miso soup.
Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
I’ve never had this before. It looks really good. I’m not a huge fish fan, but the chicken looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
This looks so delicious! I will try that next week!
Never heard of tonkatsu sauce before, now there’s a new thing I have to hunt down. Wonder how well it will do on courgettes and eggplants after grilling.
I have never heard of Tonkatsu Sauce! I really need to try this out! This looks amazing!
Oh nom nom nom this looks so good! I am going to try this recipe out for sure! xx corinne
These look so mouth watering delicious. I will have to try making this sometime. Lots of luck on Shaun T’s workout. I have a friend doing the same thing!
Chicken Katsu is my absolute fave, and my son loves it too,but I’ve never thought of making my own. It looks divine.
This looks so delicious. I am always looking for new ways to make fish. Miso Soup is one of my favorites.
