katsu

Panko-crusted meat

Katsu is a Japanese term for a breaded, deep-fried cutlet, typically pork (tonkatsu) or chicken (chicken katsu).

The meat is coated in panko breadcrumbs, fried until golden, and served sliced with rice, shredded cabbage, and tonkatsu sauce.

I'll have the chicken katsu with curry.
