Directions
Special equipment:
a deep-fry thermometer
For the slaw: In a large bowl, massage the cabbage with the salt for 3 to 5 minutes. The salt will draw out the moisture. Squeeze out any access moisture from the cabbage and transfer it to a clean bowl. Add the mayonnaise and pepper and mix well. Set aside.
For the katsu: Season the pork with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside while you set up a dredging station.
Place 1/2 cup flour in one bowl. In a second bowl, mix together the remaining 1 cup flour, the baking soda, water and a pinch of salt. In a third bowl place the panko. Dredge a pork chop in the flour, then coat in the batter, then coat in panko. Repeat with the remaining chops.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven to 280 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the pork chops for 5 minutes. Take them out and let the rest for 3 minutes on a rack set over a sheet pan. Increase the temperature of the oil to 375 degrees F and fry the pork chops again for 3 minutes. Let them rest on a rack for a minute to drain before building the sandos.
For the sauce: Combine the tomato paste, teriyaki sauce, vinegar, tahini paste, soy sauce, hot water, honey and salt in a bowl and mix well.
To make the sandos, toss the pork katsu in the sauce to coat on all sides. Place slaw and katsu on 3 slices of the milk bread. Add more mayonnaise and top with the remaining slices of bread. Trim the crusts and slice each sandwich in half to make 6 sandwiches and enjoy.
