Chicken Katsu Sando
Unlike the rustic look of sourdough, Japanese milk bread boasts a pillowy cloud-like texture that is as delightful to touch as it is to taste. This bread is the star of today's recipe - chicken katsu sando. It not only brings a mellow texture but also has milky aroma that will elevate any sandwich. I think this katsu sando might become your new favorite. Plus, it's super easy to make, so let's get right to it.
Ingredients
- Japanese milk bread store-bought
- Mayonnaise
- Shredded cabbage
For the Chicken Katsu:
- 2 chicken breast
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- ½ tbsp onion powder
- ½ tbsp paprika powder
- ½ tbsp salt
- 3 eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cup frying oil
For the Katsu Sauce:
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- ½ tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp honey
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Start by mixing the katsu batter with flour, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and coat generously with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Fry the Chicken:
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil and fry for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a rack to drain any excess oil.
Make the Katsu Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine ketchup, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and salt. Mix well until the honey is dissolved. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Assemble the Chicken Katsu Sando:
- Slice the Japanese milk bread into thick slices, and toast before assembling.
- Spread a generous amount of katsu sauce on one side of each slice.
- Place a layer of shredded cabbage on the bottom slice.
- Top with a crispy chicken breast.
- Drizzle the mayonnaise over the chicken.
- Place the other slice of bread on top.
- Secure the sandwich with toothpicks and slice it in half.
Serve and Enjoy!
- Your Chicken Katsu Sando is ready to be devoured! Serve with extra katsu sauce on the side for dipping, and perhaps a side of crispy fries or a refreshing salad.
