In a separate bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, canola oil, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and the oriental flavoring packet from the ramen package.

Step 3
~2 min

Whisk the dressing until well-combined and the sugar is dissolved.

Step 4
~2 min

Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Step 5
~2 min

Chill the coleslaw in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6
~2 min

Just before serving, break up uncooked ramen noodles into small pieces and mix them with the chilled coleslaw.

Step 7
~2 min

Prepare the katsu sauce by mixing BBQ sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, ginger powder, and ground black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 8
~2 min

Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half horizontally and then pound each piece to 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 9
~2 min

Season the flattened chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.

Step 10
~2 min

Place panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and flour in another shallow dish.

Step 11

In a third shallow dish, beat together eggs and milk until smooth using a fork or whisk.

Step 12

In a large pan or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Step 13

Working in batches, dredge each chicken breast through the flour, shaking off the excess.

Finally, coat the chicken breast with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Gently place the breaded chicken breast in the heated oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side.

Step 17
~2 min

Remove the fried chicken from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 18
~2 min

Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 19
