This Japanese-inspired prawn burger is the ultimate comfort food — crispy, golden prawn katsu paired with fresh slaw and spicy mayo in a soft brioche bun. Quick to assemble and packed with flavour, it’s perfect for a fun weeknight dinner or weekend lunch.
2 burger buns (brioche or milk buns work best)
1 cup shredded slaw mix (cabbage, carrot, red onion)
2 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise (Kewpie recommended)
1 tsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice (for the slaw)
Pickled cucumber or radish (optional)
Olive oil (if pan-frying)
Cook the prawn katsu:
Heat a pan with a little oil, or cook in an air fryer or oven until golden and crisp (usually 8–10 minutes).
Prepare the slaw:
In a bowl, toss the slaw mix with a splash of rice vinegar or lime juice and a pinch of salt. Let it sit to slightly pickle.
Make spicy mayo:
Mix the Japanese mayo and sriracha in a small bowl. Adjust spice level to your liking.
Toast the buns:
Lightly toast the burger buns on a pan or under the grill until golden.
Assemble the burgers:
Spread spicy mayo on both sides of the buns. Add a generous heap of slaw, 2 prawn katsu sticks per burger, and top with pickles if using. Close the lid and serve immediately.
Serving tip:
Serve with sweet potato fries or a side of seaweed salad for a Japanese-inspired twist.
