Pork Katsu Sando Sandwich Recipe
Katsu is the Japanese for the term cutlet and sando being the adopted word for sandwich. My pork katsu sando sandwich recipe is easy to follow for those new to Japanese style recipes.
For this recipe we’re going to use pork loin chops which are around a centimetre in thickness. You can use a tenderizer to flatten out the cutlet if required.
Preparation
You’ll need some panko breadcrumbs to coat the pork loin, these are readily available in most supermarkets.
To prepare the breadcrumbs, add to a medium sized frying pan and heat until golden brown.
Break 2 whole eggs into a large dish and mix together with a fork. Dry the pork cutlet off with a kitchen towel and coat the meat generously with egg on both sides.
Place the egg and seasoned to taste flour coated pork meat into the panko breadcrumbs and cover the meat on both sides with plenty of the breadcrumbs.
Place the breadcrumb coated meat onto a baking tray and place under a medium hot grill for around 15 minutes until cooked through.
While the pork is cooking chop some white cabbage into fairly thick slices. Take 2 slices of thick white bread and spread one slice with grainy mustard and the other slice with Tonkatsu sauce. You can buy the sauce or make your own if you wish.
Tonkatsu sauce is a Japanese style barbeque sauce with soy sauce and Worcester sauce base.
Layer one side of the bread with the chopped white cabbage, I usually drizzle some tonkatsu sauce onto the cabbage at this point.
Remove the pork from the grill and ensure it is cooked through. Place the cooked breaded pork onto the remaining bread slice.
Combine the 2 bread slices to make the sandwich and then use a heavy plate to gently press the bread and filling together.
Now it’s time to carefully cut the crusts from the pressed sandwich bread and serve.
