Copycat Perfection: How to Make the Cheesecake Factory’s Chicken Katsu at Home

If you have ever dined at The Cheesecake Factory, you know that navigating the menu is an adventure. Among the towering slices of cheesecake and the endless pasta options, there is a dish that has garnered a cult following: Chicken Katsu.

  1. Mold the Rice: Use a small bowl to pack the sticky rice tightly, then invert it onto the plate to create a dome.
  2. The Cabbage Nest: Place a tiny mound of shredded cabbage next to the rice (this is for texture contrast).
  3. Slice the Chicken: This is critical. Do not serve the cutlet whole. Slice it diagonally into 1-inch thick strips, leaving the slices slightly pressed together at the top.
  4. The Drizzle: Ladle the warm sauce over the sliced chicken so it pools slightly on the plate.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
