   Serves 2

   **Ingredients**

   * 2-3 tbsp olive oil
   * 2 cup of slaw mix, undressed
   * 1/3 teaspoon dashi powder
   * 2 eggs
   * 1/4 cup tonkatsu sauce
   * 2/3 cup self-raising flour
   * 3 spring onions, sliced
   * 4 rashers of bacon, cooked, cut into short strips
   * Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise, tonkatsu sauce and sesame seeds, to serve (optional)

   **Directions**

   1. Heat a drop of oil in a large frying pan and cook half the slaw until it starts softening. Cool.
   2. In a small bowl, combine dashi, eggs and tonkatsu sauce and whisk lightly.
   3. Place flour into a bowl and make a well in the middle; pour in egg mixture and mix, gradually incorporating flour to form a lump-free batter.
   4. Add cooked and uncooked slaw and two thirds of the spring onions. Heat a dash of the oil in the frying pan and cook large spoonfuls of mixture until golden on both sides and set in the middle. Keep warm while cooking the remainder.
   5. Top patties with bacon and spring onion. Add a drizzle of mayonnaise and tonkatsu sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
