Ingredients
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cup of slaw mix, undressed
- 1/3 teaspoon dashi powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup tonkatsu sauce
- 2/3 cup self-raising flour
- 3 spring onions, sliced
- 4 rashers of bacon, cooked, cut into short strips
- Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise, tonkatsu sauce and sesame seeds, to serve (optional)
Method
- 1Heat a drop of oil in a large frying pan and cook half the slaw until it starts softening. Cool.
- 2In a small bowl, combine dashi, eggs and tonkatsu sauce and whisk lightly.
- 3Place flour into a bowl and make a well in the middle; pour in egg mixture and mix, gradually incorporating flour to form a lump-free batter.
- 4Add cooked and uncooked slaw and two thirds of the spring onions. Heat a dash of the oil in the frying pan and cook large spoonfuls of mixture until golden on both sides and set in the middle. Keep warm while cooking the remainder.
- 5Top patties with bacon and spring onion. Add a drizzle of mayonnaise and tonkatsu sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
- Serves 2 as a main or 4-6 as a side. - If you don’t have dashi powder, use the same amount of chicken stock powder with a drop of fish sauce. - You can use thinly sliced red and green cabbage instead of slaw, and swap Japanese-style tonkatsu for regular barbecue sauce.
