Ingredients
- 2 boneless pork loin chops (about 6 oz each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying (preferably vegetable or canola)
- 4 slices of soft white bread
- 1/2 cup shredded green cabbage
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Japanese katsu sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
- 2Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 3Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off the excess.
- 4Dip the floured pork chop into the beaten egg, making sure it's fully coated.
- 5Coat the pork chop in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- 6Fry the breaded pork chops in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
- 7Once cooked, remove the pork chops and let them drain on paper towels.
- 8In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, katsu sauce, and Sriracha to create the spicy mayo.
- 9Make the cabbage slaw by mixing the shredded cabbage with a pinch of salt and a splash of vinegar, if desired (this helps soften the cabbage).
- 10To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous layer of spicy mayo on one side of each slice of bread.
- 11Place one fried pork chop on two slices of the bread, add a handful of cabbage slaw, and top with the other slice of bread (mayo side down).
- 12Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
