Preheat the oil in a deep pan to 170°C for frying.
Ensure the oil is hot enough by testing with a small piece of breadcrumb. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
Season the ham slices with soy sauce and sesame oil, then dredge in the flour, dip in the beaten egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Press the panko breadcrumbs onto the ham slices for extra crunch.
Carefully fry the ham slices in the hot oil for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Fry the ham slices in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Once fried, drain the ham slices on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Let the ham slices rest for a minute to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the katsu ham with tonkatsu sauce drizzled over the top and shredded cabbage on the side.
For extra flavor, serve with a side of steamed rice.
