Katsu Sando
Yield: 2
This Katsu Sando recipe features a popular Japanese sandwich of soft white bread, pork cutlets with a juicy center and crispy crust, shredded cabbage, creamy mayo, and signature tangy tonkatsu sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 slices soft white milk bread (or other soft white bread)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ¼ medium green cabbage, shredded (about 12 ounces)
- 2 medium green onions, thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (I recommend Japanese Kewpie mayo)
- 2 pieces prepared Pork Katsu
- ½ cup Tonkatsu Sauce (also called katsu sauce)
Instructions
- Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter onto one side of all 4 slices of white milk bread. This adds flavor and creates a slightly toasted texture when the sandwich is assembled.
- In a bowl, fold together cabbage and scallions. Sprinkle with sea salt, and add mayonnaise. Fold to combine, to finish the cabbage slaw.
- Spoon a generous amount of cabbage slaw onto the buttered side of two slices of bread.
- Place pieces of Pork Katsu on top of cabbage slaw.
- Drizzle Tonkatsu (Katsu) sauce over each of the remaining two buttered slices of bread. Adjust the amount of sauce according to your taste preference.
- Place the bread slices on top of the Pork Katsu, sauce-side down, to create the sandwiches.
- Gently press the sandwiches together. You can trim the crusts if desired, for a more traditional presentation. Enjoy immediately or wrap it in parchment paper and refrigerate for later.
