Wagyu Katsu Sando


 

Sandos are traditional Japanese sandwiches. They can be made with beef, chicken, pork and even sometimes fruit! These sandwiches have been moving their way through Western culture for a while now, but the newest rave is Wagyu sandos. The most important ingredient to this recipe is the panko breadcrumbs. They gives this dish that perfect crunch sandwiched between two light and fluffy slices of a white bread. Enjoy!
