Ingredients

Chicken Katsu

  • 2 chicken breast boneless and skinless (about 200g each)
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs large
  • 150 g panko breadcrumbs
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Tonkatsu Sauce

  • 4 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 garlic clove minced (optional)

Sandwich

  • 4 slices of bread
  • Shredded cabbage or lettuce
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced cucumber
  • Japanese mayonnaise (Kewpie mayonnaise, if available)
  • Tonkatsu sauce (from above)
  • Pickles (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Tonkatsu Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sugar, Dijon mustard (if using), and minced garlic (if using). Set aside.

Bread the Chicken:

  • Place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge each chicken breast in flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
  • Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's coated evenly.
  • Finally, coat the chicken with panko breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to adhere.

Fry the Chicken:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 170°C (340°F).
  • Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Sandwich:

  • Toast the slices of bread if desired.
  • Spread a generous amount of Japanese mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Place shredded cabbage or lettuce on two of the bread slices.
  • Lay a slice of tomato and cucumber on top of the cabbage.
  • Add a fried chicken breast on each of the prepared bread slices.
  • Drizzle tonkatsu sauce over the chicken.
  • Top with the remaining slices of bread to make sandwiches.

Serve:

  • Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve with extra tonkatsu sauce for dipping.
  • Optionally, you can serve pickles on the side for added flavor.
