INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Your journey to culinary bliss begins with the oven preheated to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Place the frozen Steggles Chicken Breast Nuggets Tempura on an oven tray, ready to transform into golden perfection. Bake the nuggets for approximately 15 minutes, or until they achieve a captivating golden brown hue.
2. As the nuggets reach their culinary pinnacle, take a moment to immerse the sliced onion in a bowl of iced water. Allow the onion to rest in the cool embrace of the water in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, watching as it transforms into delicate curls that will later adorn your creation.
3. In a small saucepan, warmth takes the form of sesame oil over medium heat. Awaken the senses with the fragrance of curry powder and flour, cooking and stirring for about 2 minutes until the air is rich with aromatic promise.
4. The journey of flavors continues with the introduction of soy sauce and chicken stock. Allow the elements to blend and dance in the saucepan for approximately 5 minutes, until the sauce gracefully simmers and thickens. The resulting katsu sauce promises to elevate the dish with its complexity and depth.
5. With the foundations of the dish in place, it’s time to assemble your Tempura Nuggets Sushi Bowl. Begin by layering the canvas of cooked jasmine rice in serving bowls, setting the stage for the flavors to unfold. The star of the show, the golden tempura chicken nuggets, find their place atop the rice, promising both satisfaction and delight.
6. Complement the nuggets with the refreshing coolness of sliced Lebanese cucumber and the vibrant allure of shredded carrot, which adds color and texture to the ensemble.
7. As the grand finale, drizzle your creation with the homemade katsu sauce, allowing its flavors to infuse each element of the bowl. The delicate green onion curls, the result of a simple yet elegant technique, crown your masterpiece with a touch of visual flair.
