• Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. Grate the carrot. • Place chicken breast between two sheets of baking paper. Pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until an even thickness, about 1cm-thick.

• In a shallow bowl, add the sweet soy seasoning. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, add panko breadcrumbs. • Coat chicken in the spice mixture, then the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. Cook crumbed chicken in batches, until golden and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the schnitzel doesn't stick to the pan!

• While the chicken is cooking, combine cucumber, carrot, shredded cabbage mix, Japanese dressing and a drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl. Season. • Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat. Cook katsu paste, the butter, brown sugar and the water, stirring, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

• Slice Japanese-style chicken schnitzel. • Divide Parmesan chicken schnitzel and cucumber slaw between plates. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle katsu sauce over schnitzel to serve. Enjoy!
