Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice and edamame, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, add panko to a shallow dish.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Carefully slice into the centre of each chicken breast, lengthwise and parallel to the cutting board, leaving 1/2-inch intact on the other end.
  • Open up the chicken breast like a book, then season with salt and pepper.
Cook chicken
3
  • Coat chicken all over with mayo.
  • Working with one piece of chicken at a time, press both sides into panko to coat completely.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add 2 tbsp oil, then the chicken. Pan-fry, until golden-brown and cooked through, 4-6 min per side.** (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan! Cook in batches for 4 servings. Wipe the pan clean and add another 2 tbsp oil before the second batch.) (TIP: If chicken is browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low.)
Make cucumbers
4
  • Meanwhile, cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise, then slice into 1/4-inch half-moons. 
  • Whisk together the half the vinegar (use rest in another creation), 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar in a medium bowl.
  • Add the cucumbers and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
FINISH AND SERVE
5
  • Whisk together half the teriyaki sauce and BBQ sauce in a small bowl.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork.  
  • Divide the rice between plates.
  • Top with chicken tonkatsu.
  • Spoon the teryiaki-BBQ sauce over the chicken. 
  • Serve with the cucumber salad on the side.
