Product Information

It’s made from a specific type of Japanese bread called shokupan (shown above), which literally means “eating bread” and can be thought of as “daily bread” or “regular bread.” Japanese shokupan is fluffy and soft, mild, and slightly sweet. Some say it is the best bread in the world and it inspires long lineups in Japan to get the best stuff. Seasoned Panko: Mix in herbs, spices, or seasonings of your choice to add extra flavor to your breadcrumbs.

Tonkatsu is a delicious Japanese dish consisting of breaded and fried pork cutlets. Boneless pork loins or pork chops are dredged in flour and egg, then coated in Japanese bread crumbs called 'panko'. It's typically served with tonkatsu sauce, thinly shredded cabbage, and steamed rice. Bake until golden and crispy – The crusts should be crispy/crunchy and golden brown. You can hear the crunchy and crispy sound when you touch the crusts. There are a couple ways to do this process. One way is to use a grater or you can use a food processor. I have made mine with both methods and find the end result is not much different. So using a food processor is less effort but if you don’t have a food processor, you can use a grater. Making breadcrumbs with a food processor Is Panko Gluten Free? Bake the crusts until thoroughly dry and crispy– It’s very important to start with dry bread crusts. If the white crumb part is soft, they take forever to become crispy during the final bake. Use a low oven temperature (I used 250ºF/120ºC) for this step. Traditional breadcrumbs are finer than panko breadcrumbs and are made using both the crust and the crumb (the inside part of the bread, not to be confused with ‘crumbs’). They can also be made using different types of bread and can be seasoned with herbs.Flip and fry the other side until the pork is fully cooked and the panko coating is golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Try to keep the temperature at 340 degrees F for even cooking. Repeat with any remaining cutlets. Save those crumbs. Can you freeze bread crumbs once they've been toasted? You bet. Transfer them to an airtight container or zip-top bag and freeze for up to 4 months. You can also store dried breadcrumbs in an airtight container for about two weeks at room temperature. Since more people know about Panko and it gained popularity, it is available from major supermarkets. Major brands that make Panko are Kikkoman and Progresso. Also they are available from any Asian/Japanese markets. It is kind of dried food so is available Online too. How to make it at home Panko can also be made without a food processor by freezing the bread first, and then using a cheese grater with large holes to grate the frozen bread. This doesn't work quite as well as the food processor method because the size of your panko will be determined by the size of the holes in your grater, but still produces fluffy panko that will work in a pinch. How to Use Panko Breadcrumbs As a crunchy topping for casseroles– Panko adds a little bit of texture to just about any kind of casserole – main dish casseroles, baked pasta casseroles, veggie side-dish casseroles, and bean casseroles. For example, use panko instead of French fried onions or regular breadcrumbs on your favorite green bean casserole. Combine panko with Parmesan cheese and some Italian seasonings and sprinkle generously over any savory casserole heading into the oven.

These variations can give your dish an extra flavor boost. Try experimenting with different variations to find your favorite! Tips Pulse, don't grind: Use a food processor to pulse the bread into coarse crumbs, rather than grinding it into fine bread crumbs. This will result in a light and airy texture. Making homemade panko is 10 times easier than driving to a supermarket. All you need is some leftover bread; it doesn’t have to be shokupan! Nutrition per serving. It assumes the amount of oil absorbed into the cutlet is 10% of the weight of the meat, and all of the flour, egg, breadcrumbs are used up (unlikely).Panko breadcrumbs are more like flakes and are bigger than regular breadcrumbs. They are also drier than regular breadcrumbs, making them a better choice for deep frying since they absorb less oil and yield a crispier breading. When Was Bread Introduced to Japan? So, traditional Japanese panko is raw breadcrumbs, not dry ones. Differences Between Nama Panko and Dried Panko Small flakes: Mostly use for small ingredients and also items that have high moisture content – small flakes give you more coverage than large.
