konnichiwa, It's Nami from just one cookbook
back with another video for you, and today I'm going to share
how to make katsu sando, a delicious,
crispy tonkatsu, or
pork cutlet sandwich
instead of deep-frying pork cutlet, we will bake it
it's healthier, no oily smell in the
kitchen, and it's super easy
I'll show you my trick to make the
panko crust crispy, and beautiful, golden color
if you don't eat pork,
you can swap with chicken breast or thigh,
or thin, salmon filet
for this recipe, I'm partnering with the
kikkoman, and I use their panko and katsu sauce,
which you can find in the grocery stores and amazon
now let's get started
preheat oven to 400 ºF (200 ºC) degrees
in a large frying pan, add 1 cup panko and 1 ½ tbsp of oil and turn the heat to medium to medium-high
lift the pan and shake it once in a while to evenly toast the panko
toast until golden brown (about 5 minutes)
once the panko is nicely brown, transfer to the tray
2 pork chops 1/2 lb
make slits on connective tissue between the meat and fat
pound the meat with a meat pounder
if you don’t have one, just use the back of a knife to pound
mold the extended meat back into original shape with your hands
season the meat with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
in a large plate, 2 tbsp all purpose flour
whisk 1 egg in a bowl
dredge in flour and remove excess flour
dip in egg mixture
dredge in panko
press panko onto the meat and transfer to oven-safe wire rack
bake at 400 ºF (200 ºC) until the pork is cooked through, about 20 minutes
thinly shred one cabbage leaf
spread the butter on 4 slices bread
spread 2 tsp dijon mustard on top of butter on one side
spread the 4 tbsp tonkatsu sauce on the other side
put the thinly shredded cabbage evenly on the dijon mustard side
then drizzle tonkatsu sauce over the cabbage
place the tonkatsu on top of the cabbage and top with the other bread
place the sandwich between two plates for 5 minutes
cut off the crust of the bread and cut in half
serve the katsu sando on a plate or box
