Pork Katsu Sando

Cultural Context

The Pork Katsu Sando, a beloved Japanese sandwich, originated in the post-war era as a quick meal option. Combining crispy breaded pork cutlet with soft white bread, it reflects Japan's embrace of Western culinary influences while maintaining a distinctively Japanese twist. Today, it is a popular item in convenience stores and cafes, enjoyed for its satisfying crunch and savory flavor.

Servings4
2 slices of sliced bread
butter as needed
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 frozen pork cutlet
thinly sliced cabbage as needed
1.5 tablespoons tonkatsu sauce
1/2 teaspoon mustard

pork loin

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Chicken breast is leaner, while pork shoulder is more economical.

Japanese mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: regular mayonnaise

💰Cheaper: store-brand mayonnaise

Regular mayonnaise is widely available and often less expensive.

white bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: generic sandwich bread

Whole grain offers more fiber, while generic bread is budget-friendly.

tonkatsu sauce

🥗Healthier: bbq sauce

💰Cheaper: homemade sauce

BBQ sauce is often lower in sugar, and homemade can save costs.

1

Heat oil to 170°C and deep-fry the frozen pork cutlet for about 5 minutes.

2

In a bowl, mix the egg and milk, then heat in a microwave-safe container for about 1 minute (be careful not to overcook the egg).

3

Spread butter on one side of the bread and toast until lightly golden (about 3 minutes at 900W).

4

Place the cooked egg on the toasted bread, spread tonkatsu sauce, add the pork cutlet, more tonkatsu sauce, and top with shredded cabbage. Press down with another slice of toast.

5

Cut the sandwich into three pieces and serve with salad and hot consomme soup.
