Saturday Sandwich 31: Katsu Sando

This week's sandwich is Japanese and consists of a breaded fried pork steak in white bread. Looks tasty!

There's a recipe here if you want to try it ---> Katsu Sando Recipe

You tenderise the pork with a rolling pin first and then cover it in flour, egg and panko breadcrumbs.

 Fry it until browned. We had some problems with oil temperature and the first one was a bit too browned.

We made up some tonkatsu sauce using tomato ketchup, worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce and sugar.

 It's supposed to be shredded cabbage on the sandwich but we only had lettuce.

The sauce is the best thing about this sandwich. It's spicy, sweet and oozes all over the pork. The pork was deliciously tender and crunchy with the breadcrumbs. I feel it's hard to go wrong with something deep fried and sandwiched in soft bread. A very enjoyable sandwich :)
