Adam Liaw's Japanese-style chicken schnitzel curry
Method
Step 1
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add about 2 teaspoons of oil. Add the onion, carrot and potato and fry for about 3 minutes until just starting to soften. Add 600ml of boiling water and bring to a simmer. Simmer covered for about 15 minutes, until the carrot and potato have softened, then break in the curry mix block and stir until the mixture thickens. Keep warm while you cook the schnitzels.
Step 2
Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan and shallow-fry the schnitzels until golden brown and cooked through. Drain, then slice them thickly and serve with rice, the curry sauce poured on one side. Add a few cocktail onions and serve.

Red Sox get big Masataka Yoshida update, but there's a catch
The post Red Sox get big Masataka Yoshida update, but there's a catch appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Boston Red Sox are trying fight their way back into contention for a spot in the playoffs in the second half of the season. While they have played inconsistent baseball and been troubled by injuries in the first half of the season, they have been starting to hit the ball much better and the team is getting healthier as they approach the All-Star break. Advertisement The big news will come when 3rd baseman Alex Bregman returns to the lineup following a strain of his right quad muscle. He could be back before the All-Star break. Manager Alex Cora also expects that Masataka Yoshida will be active in the team's upcoming homestand. Yoshida has been out with a shoulder injury since the start of the season. The Red Sox manager did not specify when Yoshida will be back in the lineup. They will have back-to-back series at Fenway Park against the Colorado Rockies and the Tampa Bay Rays before the All-Star break. When Yoshida does return to the lineup, he will fill the designated hitter position. The Red Sox have been getting solid production from Rob Refsnyder and Roman Anthony at DH in recent games, so there's no need to force-feed Yoshida into the lineup. However, the Japanese import has shown a solid stroke when he has been healthy for the Red Sox in his first two seasons with the team. Yoshida slashed .289/.338/.445 with 15 home runs and 72 RBI in 2023 and he followed that with solid numbers last season. He slashed .280/.349/.415 with 10 home runs and 56 RBI. The left-handed hitting Yoshida should be an asset in the batting order when facing right-handed pitching. Advertisement Red Sox have suddenly been putting runs on the board Mandatory Credit: Rafael Suanes-Imagn Images The Red Sox have been an inconsistent offensive team throughout the majority of the season, and their ability to score runs took a dip when they traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants last month. The Red Sox went through a six-game losing streak shortly after the trade, but they appear to have gotten over their offensive funk. They have scored 10 or more runs in three of their last seven games, and they had nine runs on the board in Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals through five innings. The Red Sox have been more competitive in the American League East and should have a good chance of getting into the Wild Card race if they can't catch the first-place Toronto Blue Jays in the American League East. Advertisement While there are still questions about the pitching staff — outside of No. 1 starter Garrett Crochet and closer Aroldis Chapman — the hitting should be solid as Bregman and Yoshida prepare to return to the lineup.

Pentagon policy chief's rogue decisions have irked US allies and the Trump administration
'He basically asked them, 'Is it too late to call it back?'' said the person familiar with Trump administration dynamics. 'Because we don't want you there.' A second person familiar with the meeting confirmed this account. The British team on the other side of the table 'were just shocked,' the first person added. 'He was basically saying 'you have no business being in the Indo-Pacific.'' Colby has also irked allies by pushing them too hard to boost defense spending — or telling them to simply get out of America's way. 'DOD has been telling a European partner that we don't need the Europeans to be doing anything [in the Indo-Pacific],' said one U.S. official familiar with the conversations. In the spring, Japanese officials believed the Trump administration might push them for a modest increase in defense spending. Initially, Colby publicly called on Japan to spend ' at least 3 percent of GDP on defense as soon as possible,' which angered Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. But that number soon increased to a much steeper target of 5 percent , which reportedly contributed to the collapse of plans for a high-level meeting between Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and their Japanese counterparts.'The Japanese were very frustrated,' said a person familiar with the talks. 'They thought that they were agreeing to at least negotiate on the basis of 3 or 3.5 percent. Then Colby, all of a sudden, got DOD to say 5, and the Japanese got angry, because that's not what they just agreed to.' The incident caused heartburn within Japan's ruling party, with officials worried about triggering a domestic political backlash ahead of a sensitive election, the person added. The hawkish wing of the Republican Party has expressed concerns that Colby's 'shoot first and ask questions later' approach is sapping Trump's foreign policy of its strength at a key moment. 'The president's leadership at NATO and his decision to strike Iran gave Russia and China good reason to fear America's resolve,' said a senior GOP aide. 'But Colby has just undercut the president and squandered his boss' leverage.' The AUKUS review surprised some State Department officials who dealt directly with the pact. The department's immediate guidance on how to respond to media questions about the topic appeared to underscore the lack of coordination, a State Department official said. The instructions told diplomats to say to reporters: 'We are not aware of a review of the AUKUS agreement. The secretary of Defense has not requested a review of the agreement from the secretary of State.' 'The way that one person from State put it to me is: 'Who is this fucking guy?'' said a former U.S. official familiar with the policy discussions. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce praised Colby's leadership. 'The world is changing rapidly and Elbridge understands the moment. His innovative leadership is critical to addressing the challenges head-on and helping to deliver on President Trump's America First agenda.'

Dollar gains against yen as Trump's trade war intensifies
TOKYO: The dollar rose for a third day against the yen on Wednesday as US President Donald Trump pledged more trade-related proclamations after announcing 25 per cent tariffs on Japan and other trade partners. The greenback advanced against major peers on Tuesday after Trump began telling trade counterparts that sharply higher US tariffs will start on August 1, but he later said he was open to extensions if countries made proposals. Trump said on social media that there would be announcements on Wednesday regarding "a minimum of 7 countries having to do with trade," without specifying whether he would be announcing new deals or tariff letters. Multiple rounds of talks have failed to result in a breakthrough between the US and Japan, where policymakers are now increasingly focused on a critical upper house election this month. "Talks appear to be stalled over Japan's rice market protections and it's hard to see the Japanese bending on this one," IG analyst Tony Sycamore wrote in a client note. "The (currency) pair's rise was also supported by a fifth day of gains in US yields and a sharp rise in JGB yields on fiscal concerns ahead of Japanese elections on July 20." The dollar climbed 0.2 per cent to 146.85 yen, after touching a more than two-week high on the previous day. The euro was little changed at US$1.1720. The dollar index, which tracks the US currency against a basket of six major peers, was steady at 97.582 after a two-day climb. Sterling traded at US$1.35795, down 0.1 per cent in early trading. Bank of Japan board member Junko Koeda said she was keeping a close eye on possible second-round effects on underlying inflation from recent rises in the price of rice, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday. The European Union will not receive a tariff letter and could secure exemptions from the US baseline rate of 10 per cent, EU sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday. Trump on Tuesday said he would impose a 50 per cent tariff on imported copper and will soon introduce long-threatened levies on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will skip a Group of 20 finance officials meeting in South Africa next week, sources familiar with his plans told Reuters, but will attend the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, according to a Treasury spokesperson. The Australian dollar fetched US$0.6526, down 0.07 per cent after Tuesday's 0.6 per cent jump. New Zealand's kiwi dollar traded at US$0.5993, down 0.1 per cent.
