Crispy Fish Sando Wasabi Mayo

Japan's iconic fish sandwich (sando) — a thick Japanese milk bread slice cradling a panko-crusted crispy cod or pollock fillet, shredded cabbage, pickled daikon and a fiery wasabi Kewpie mayo sauce. The crust is shattering; the bread is impossibly soft.

Method

  1. Season fish with salt and white pepper. Dust in flour, dip in egg, coat in panko.

    About 5 min

  2. Deep fry at 180°C/350°F for 4–5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Drain.

    About 14 min

  3. Wasabi mayo: mix Kewpie, wasabi, soy and lemon until smooth.

    About 14 min

  4. Spread wasabi mayo generously on both bread slices. Layer cabbage on the bottom slice, then the hot crispy fish, then pickled daikon.

    About 14 min

  5. Press the top slice down firmly. Cut in half straight across (Japanese style, no diagonal). Wrap in cling film briefly and press for a clean cross-section. Serve.
