日式夏日三明治

做法

1. First you should prepare your bread. Japanese sandwiches do not generally come with crusts so with a sharp knife remove all of the crust and separate your bread into 3 piles, 4 slices for each set of sandwiches.

2. Let’s start with the simplest sandwich first, Strawberries & Cream. Either whip 1/2 cup of whipping cream in a bowl until stiff and spread evenly on the bread, or for a quicker way, use a can of squirty cream and spread evenly over the 4 slices.

3. Next, wash, cut off the stems and chop each strawberry in half down the middle. Divide up equally between each slice of bread before placing on the cream and sandwiching 2 slices together for each sandwich. Cut diagonally for authenticity.

4. Next, let’s start the Tonkatsu Sandwich. Take your 4 slices of bread and lightly butter before adding a layer of shredded cabbage to 2 of them. To make the actual tonkatsu, remove all of the fat from the pork loins, coat in a layer of flour, egg, then finally panko breadcrumbs before deep-frying in oil.
   

5. Instead of cutting your tonkatsu into thin slices as you normally would, leave whole and place 1 on each sandwich. Top with a generous dollop of tonkatsu sauce and slap your other two slices of bread on top before cutting diagonally to finish.

6. Lastly, we are going to fill our Yakisoba Sandwiches. You can either follow our detailed Japan Centre Online Yakisoba Recipe to prepare yakisoba from scratch or simply use a packet of instant yakisoba. If using instant yakisoba, lightly oil a frying pan before adding 2 roughly cut thin slices of pork, the chopped cabbage, carrot and onion and finally the noodles and included sauce and fry well as per instructions on the packet.

7. Pile the yakisoba onto 2 slices of bread, top off with some creamy QP Mayonnaise and aonori, before closing the sandwiches with another slice of bread and cutting diagonally.

8. Now simply arrange your completed sandwiches on a plate, maybe stick in a few Union Jack flags and enjoy the party.
