Recipe: Chicken Katsu Curry by Yutaka

You'll probably recognise the Yutaka curry block from the shelves of your local supermarket but think that making Japanese food is all fiddly and needs lots of practice. This isn't the case.  Katsu curry is quick and easy to make.

I've posted below a recipe for Chicken Katsu Curry which is easy to make.  You could use leftover over Christmas turkey in place of the chicken or pork or beef.

The cubes can also be used like normal stock cubes to flavour stews and gravies, as well as making them into a sauce for chips, sausages and noodles.
