- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, if more sweetness is desired)

For the Pork Katsu:
- 4 pork cutlets

- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

For Serving:

Instructions:
For the Curry:
1. Cook the veggies:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Add the carrots and potatoes, cooking for about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, ginger, and grated Fuji apple. Cook for another 2 minutes.
2. Make the sauce, season, and simmer:
- Sprinkle in the curry powder and flour, stirring well to coat the vegetables.
- Gradually add the broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the soy sauce and honey, if using. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the curry has thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
For the Pork Katsu:
1. Bread the Pork Cutlets:
- Season the pork cutlets with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, chopped nuts, and flaxseeds.
- Dredge each cutlet in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the panko-nut mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
2. Cook:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. Lightly spray both sides of the breaded pork cutlets with cooking spray.
- Place the cutlets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; you may need to cook in batches.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cutlets are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Lightly spray both sides of the breaded pork cutlets with cooking spray.
- Place the cutlets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; you may need to cook in batches.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cutlets are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
3. Serve
- Serve the curry over steamed brown rice. Top with sliced pork katsu and garnish with chopped green onions and pickled ginger, if desired.
