The Pork Katsu Sando is a delightful combination of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors, complemented by textural contrasts.
The main flavor component is the savory and rich tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet). The pork cutlet is typically coated in panko breadcrumbs, providing a crispy and light texture. Tonkatsu sauce adds a sweet and tangy element, often made with fruits, vegetables, and spices. The shredded cabbage offers a refreshing crunch and slight bitterness, balancing the richness of the pork. Soft, white Japanese milk bread (Shokupan) provides a mild sweetness and soft texture that unifies the flavors.

Pork Selection
Use high-quality pork loin or tenderloin, ideally with a good fat marbling, for the most tender and flavorful katsu. Ensure the pork is cut to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Panko Breadcrumbs
Japanese panko breadcrumbs are essential for achieving a light and crispy coating. Use fresh panko for the best results.
Tonkatsu Sauce
Experiment with different store-bought or homemade Tonkatsu sauce recipes to find your preferred balance of sweetness, tanginess, and umami.
Bread Choice
Shokupan (Japanese milk bread) is the ideal choice, offering a soft and slightly sweet base. If unavailable, use another soft white bread with a fine crumb.
Assembly Technique
Assemble the sandwich carefully, ensuring the tonkatsu is evenly coated with sauce and that the cabbage slaw is well-distributed. Cut the sandwich neatly for an appealing presentation.
