Katsu Sando (Pork Cutlet Sandwich)
The Katsu Sando is a Japanese-style sandwich made with fried pork cutlet (tonkatsu), milk bread, lettuce or cabbage, and a combination of whole grain mustard and tonkatsu sauce. The sandwich layers provide a contrast between the crispy pork, soft bread, tangy sauces, and crunchy greens, served freshly assembled.

- 2 leaves lettuce shredded, or cabbage
Instructions
- Place 2 slices of milk bread on a work surface and spread mustard on one slice and tonkatsu sauce on the other.
- Add the fried pork cutlet/tonkatsu to one slice of bread.
- Top with shredded lettuce or cabbage.
- Add the second slice of bread on top.
- Press firmly and slice the sandwich in half with a sharp knife.
- Serve freshly made.
