Whether you've been following Just a Hangry Girl for a while, or just stumbled upon it recently I'm sure you would've realised that my love for a 'fakeaway' is everlasting! I love it so much that this is my second blog post on the subject!! Some of you may be thinking if that was a typo - did she mean takeaway? If so why is a food blogger talking about buying food from somewhere else! To that I say NO!! I didn't make a typo!! a fakeaway is basically any dish that you have made yourself but that you would normally order from a takeaway restaurant. It can be of any cuisine, but my fav you ask? Easy! Asian all day everyday!! I don't know what it is about Asian food but I could literally have it for every meal, every day, every week (well maybe not but shhh)
However neither my bank balance nor waistline would thank me if I ordered out to satisfy all my Asian cuisine needs! So when I do crave the good stuff I try to put a little healthy twist on it whilst still keeping me satisfied - it may not be as authentic but trust me it'll become your new favourite!
For this fakeaway I've taken the tried and true favourite of most wagamama customers - Chicken Katsu!! When I'm hungover and in need of something greasy my first choice is chicken katsu, however this version is a lot less greasy but still as crispy! The secret? Shredded Coconut!! Trust me on this, its definitely not as weird as it sounds! I also subbed the classic curry sauce for a hoi sin based one, I promise you won't miss the curry!
Now I'm just gonna cut to the chase and give you the recipe cause its just too darn good to keep on rambling! I even made it into a video to show you just how easy it is to make!! The full egg fried rice recipe can be found on my earlier blog post.
