Rika's TOKYO CUISINE: Japanese Sandwich Trio

In this episode, we'll be making three uniquely Japanese sandwiches, made with Japanese ingredients, to be served like a multi-course meal. Our main sandwich features a menchi katsu ground meat cutlet: the crunchy fried panko bread crumbs and the juicy pork go perfectly with bread. We'll also be making a side sandwich with burdock root — a popular vegetable in Japan — and chicken, tossed with mayonnaise. For dessert, we have one more sandwich, filled with a combination of cream and a sweet bean paste made with azuki beans, an indispensable ingredient for Japanese sweets. We hope you'll join us for these three convenient and delicious tastes of Japanese cuisine!
