Pork Belly Katsu Sandwich

Directions

1. Begin by cutting the pork belly into thick slices.

2. Set up your breading station with three bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Season the flour and egg wash with salt and pepper.

3. Preheat a griddle to around 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit and add the frying oil.

4. Bread the pork belly strips by first coating them in flour, then dipping them into the egg wash, and finally covering them with panko breadcrumbs.

5. Carefully place the breaded pork belly into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

6. While the pork is cooking, prepare the bread for your sandwiches. Spread butter onto the griddle and toast the slices of bread to your desired level of doneness. Remove the toasted bread.

7. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayonnaise on the toasted bread, then layering with the fried pork belly, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomatoes. Season the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper.

8. Close the sandwiches and serve immediately.
