Steps
- 01
Preheat oven to 200°C. Toast 1 cup panko in a pan with 1 1/2 tbsp oil over medium heat, stirring until evenly golden; move to a plate.
- 02
Trim and flatten two 227 g pork chops to about 1.25 cm thickness; season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper.
- 03
Set out three dishes: 2 tbsp flour, an egg beaten with 1/2 tbsp oil, and the toasted panko.
- 04
Coat each pork chop in flour, egg wash and toasted panko, in that order, then arrange on a lined baking sheet.
- 05
Bake at 200°C for about 20 minutes, checking that the thickest center reaches at least 63°C, then rest on a clean plate at least three minutes.
- 06
Meanwhile shred 40 g cabbage finely and set out four bread slices. Spread 1 tsp butter and 1 tsp Dijon mustard on each of two slices.
- 07
Spread a little tonkatsu sauce on each of the other bread slices. Layer cabbage on each buttered slice, drizzle some sauce, then place one cooked pork cutlet on top.
- 08
Distribute the remaining sauce over the cutlets, cover with the other bread slices and press gently between two plates for five minutes to set the sandwiches.
- 09
Trim crusts if desired, halve the two sandwiches and serve immediately; keep raw pork and egg utensils separate from finished sandwiches.
Before you cook
Cook whole-cut pork to at least 63°C and rest for three minutes, keeping utensils that touched raw pork or egg away from finished bread. Check wheat in breading/flour/bread, egg, milk in butter/bread and possible soy/wheat in sauce. Refrigerate any leftovers within two hours and preferably eat the same day because bread can become soggy; reheat any leftover meat to 74°C.
Allergens: wheat (panko, flour, bread), egg, milk (butter, milk bread may contain milk), soy/wheat/other ingredients possible in tonkatsu sauce; check labels, mustard (allergen in some jurisdictions)
