Place each chicken thigh in a zip-lock bag or between baking paper. Pound gently with a rolling pin or meat mallet to about 1 cm thick. 🔨 2. Season both sides with salt and pepper. 3. Set up three bowls: flour, whisked eggs, and mama san panko. 4. Dredge each thigh: flour first, then egg, then press firmly into panko for a thick, even coating. Set aside. 5. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat (about 1 cm deep). 6. Prepare a wire rack lined with paper towels for draining. 7. Fry each thigh 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on the rack and sprinkle lightly with salt. 🌟 8. Finely shred the cabbage (mandoline works great). Toss with lemon juice and a pinch of salt—use your hands to soften it slightly. 🥬 9. Slice bread to about 2 cm thick. (Optional: lightly toast one side under the grill for extra texture.) 🔥 10. Place bread toasted-side up. Spread 1 tbsp Kewpie Spicy Karashi Mayo on each slice. 🌶️ 11. Add a chicken katsu piece, drizzle generously with Bulldog Tonkatsu Sauce. 🍶 12. Pile on about ½ cup cabbage per sandwich, top with another bread slice, and cut in half (or thirds for that classic look). ✂️ Plate up and enjoy immediately—the contrast of crispy katsu and soft bread is unbeatable! 😋 Follow Hana @_hanas_table
