Enjoy our crispy fried pork katsu with crunchy Japanese slaw recipe
Our pork katsu and Japanese slaw recipe is one you’ll want to prepare again and again. It’s simple and nutritious, and all the ingredients can be easily sourced in your fruit and veg shop.
Pork makes a great choice for a family dinner. Trim the fat away and you have a healthy source of protein, essential for cell growth and a must for growing kids.
You’ll also find a treasure trove of vitamins and minerals. There’s vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, that helps your body convert energy from nutrients, B3 to keep your metabolism running smoothly, B6 for red blood cell formation and B12, which can enhance brain health.
The minerals found in pork – iron, phosphorus, selenium and zinc – all have a role in keeping your body functioning at its best.
The healthy slaw of red cabbage, carrot and spring onions is the perfect crunchy accompaniment. Eating the veggies raw means that you’ll get the maximum benefit from their vitamins and minerals, which can break down on cooking.
They also provide plenty of fibre to keep your digestive system in good shape.
And the vivid colours make this dish even more appealing, especially if you have young and fussy eaters who need an incentive to tuck in!
So next time you order your online groceries, be sure to include everything you need for this enticing yet healthy dish.
This dish will delight your tastebuds, thanks to the combo of crispy panko crumbs, tender pork and crunchy slaw.

- Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add two of the steaks and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Place on a plate lined with kitchen towel and cover with foil to retain heat. Repeat the process with the remaining two steaks.
- Serve the steaks on a plate with the slaw and mayonnaise mixture.
