How to Make Katsu Sandwich from Charlotte
Ingredients
- 4 slice sandwich bread
- tonkatsu sauce
- butter
- mustard
Panko
- 3 slice sandwich bread A store-bought panko is also ok.
Tonkatsu / Pork Cutlet
- 2 chuck eye roll / pork loin
- a little salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp flour
- ½ tbsp egg
- 1 cup panko / breadcrumbs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
To Prepare Panko
-
Cut the crusts off the sandwich bread and cut into small pieces. Grind them in a blender to make bread crumbs. (You can also use store-bought panko!)
- Place the panko in a bowl or bat.
To Make Tonkatsu
-
To prevent the pork from curling up, use a knife to cut the border between the fat and lean. **Be careful not to make a cut that goes all the way through. The flavor and fat is lost when frying.
-
Using your fingers, massage the meat to soften it. If there are any hard parts, use a knife to cut the tendons.
-
Season both sides with salt and pepper.
-
Sift the flour and sprinkle it evenly on both sides and remove excess flour.
-
Dip in beaten egg.
-
Dredge in panko and press gently. It doesn't have to be fluffy because panko will pop up during deep frying.
To Deep Fry
- Heat oil in a deep pot or pan to 350ºF (180ºC).
- Place a piece of panko or wooden chopsticks in the oil. When small bubbles appear around them, it's ready to fry.
-
Add in the pork. Fry for 3 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown. **If you over-fry it, the meat will lose its moisture and become less juicy and dry.
- Take out the pork and remove excess oil by holding it vertically for a few seconds. Place it on the wire rack and let it sit for 5 minutes.
To Make Sandwich
-
Spread butter on sandwich bread. You can spread mustard or toast if you like.
-
After spreading a generous amount of tonkatsu sauce on one side of the cutlet, place it on a piece of bread with that side down.
-
Spread a generous amount of tonkatsu sauce on the other side, then cover with bread.
-
Wrap tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap and set aside for 5 minutes.
-
Cut in half.
