Pork Tonkatsu Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 16 slices white sandwich bread
- 4 slices pork tenderloin, about 2-inch (4-cm) thick
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) pastry flour
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- Canola oil, for frying
- Tonkatsu sauce, to taste (see recipe)
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Break 8 slices of bread into pieces. In a food processor, crumble bread by pulsing a few seconds at a time. Set aside in a bowl.
- On a work surface, slightly flatten each slice of pork tenderloin with a meat mallet to get 1-cm (1/2-inch) thick slices. Set aside on a plate. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place flour in a shallow bowl and eggs in a second bowl.
- Preheat oil in the deep fryer to 180 °C (350 °F). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Dredge each slice of meat in flour and shake to remove any excess. Dip in beaten eggs and drain. Roll in breadcrumbs and press to coat well. Set aside.
- Fry 2 slices at a time in oil for about 4 minutes or until meat is cooked. Drain on the baking sheet.
- Dip each fried pork slice in Tonkatsu sauce and place between two slices of white sandwich bread. Remove crusts with a knife. Cut sandwiches into 3 equal rectangles and place on a plate, side by side, cut side up.
