panko
Flaky coating crumbs
Panko is a style of Japanese breadcrumb distinguished by its light, flaky texture and larger, more irregular shards compared to fine Western breadcrumbs.
The airy structure creates an exceptionally crispy coating when fried, making panko the preferred choice for dishes like tonkatsu, tempura shrimp, and chicken cutlets.
The recipe calls for panko rather than regular breadcrumbs.
Panko has become a staple in both Asian and Western kitchens for anything requiring a crunchy exterior.
