Fun, filling and fresh: crispy, juicy pork katsu is the star of these super-simple hand rolls.

1 cup (200g) Obento Sushi Rice
1½ tbs (30ml) Obento Sushi Seasoning
2 tbs plain flour
2 (about 150g each) pork scotch fillets
1 egg, beaten
1 tbs Obento Mirin Seasoning
1½ cups (75g) Obento Panko Breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, to shallow-fry
4 Obento Yaki Nori For Sushi sheets
50g mixed leaf lettuce
2 long green shallots, sliced thinly lengthways and cut into 7cm lengths
2 baby cucumbers, quartered lengthways
2 tbs Obento Tonkatsu Sauce
Obento sushi & sashimi Soy Sauce (optional)
Obento Sliced Pickled Ginger (optional)
Wasabi, to serve (optional)

Method

1.

Place rice in a sieve and rinse under cold water until water runs clear. Transfer to a medium saucepan with 1½ cups (375ml) water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
2.

Transfer rice to a glass bowl. Sprinkle in sushi seasoning and mix to distribute, fanning rice to cool. Set aside.
3.

Meanwhile, season flour with fine salt and freshly ground black pepper. Coat pork in seasoned flour, dusting off excess. Beat egg and mirin together in a shallow dish. Place panko in another shallow dish. Dip pork in egg then coat in panko. Dip again in egg and panko for a double coat (this will make your pork extra crispy). Transfer to a plate. Heat 2cm oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook pork for 7-8 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towel and allow to cool. Slice thinly and season.
4.

Cut nori sheets in half widthways and place on a clean work surface. Spread 1/3 cup rice over half the nori sheets, using damp fingers to help spread the rice. Arrange lettuce, shallot and cucumber diagonally across rice. Top with 2 slices of pork and drizzle with 1 tsp tonkatsu sauce on each. Fold bottom corner up over the filling to halfway then continue rolling into a cone shape. Wet the far edge of the nori with a little water to help seal the roll. Serve immediately with dipping sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi.
