Menchi Katsu

Menchi katsu is a hybrid of a hamburger and tonkatsu. A 50/50 blend of ground beef and pork are mixed with onions, seasonings, egg, and breadcrumbs, then formed into patties. The patties are then dredged in flour, dipped in an egg wash, then breaded in panko. The patties are then fried crispy and served over shredded cabbage. The patties are then drizzled with tonkatsu sauce, which you can purchase at any Asian market.
