Jammy Egg Katsu

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs (or as many as you like), for the jammy eggs
  • Panko breadcrumbs, for coating
  • Oil, for deep-frying
  • Tonkatsu or katsu sauce, to serve

Batter

  • 80 g flour
  • 80 g water
  • 1 egg

Directions

  • Make the jammy eggs: add enough water to a pot to cover 5 eggs completely and bring to a boil. Carefully lower in the eggs and cook for 6 minutes, then transfer to ice water (the shells slip off easily). Peel.
  • Make the batter: in a bowl, mix the flour, water, and egg until smooth.
  • Dunk each peeled egg in the batter.
  • Coat thoroughly in panko breadcrumbs.
  • Heat oil to 180°C (350°F).
  • Gently lower the eggs into the hot oil.
  • Fry until nice and golden brown.
  • Drizzle with sauce and enjoy.
