Instructions

  • Season the lamb cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  • Set up breading station with flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs. Coat each cutlet in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  • While the katsu cools, whisk together ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl.
  • Assemble bowls starting with white rice, followed by shredded cabbage, sliced katsu, and drizzled tonkatsu sauce. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For a lighter version, bake katsu at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes. Swap white rice for brown rice or quinoa for a healthier alternative.
