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.
