Yutaka Panko Breadcrumbs 300g

Yutaka panko in a 300 gram bag is the size for anyone who breads food regularly. Japanese panko is grated from bread without the crust, and the large flat flakes give an airier, crisper crust than ground breadcrumbs, while absorbing less oil.

Breading is done in three stages: flour, beaten egg and panko, with a light press at the end so the flakes stay put. A deep fryer or a pan at around 170 degrees gives the best result. For oven cooking, the panko should be toasted golden in a dry pan before use. The bag is enough for ten or twelve portions.

Use it for tonkatsu, ebi fry, korokke, schnitzel and breaded fish, or scattered over gratins for a crunchy topping. Keep the bag tightly closed, as damp panko does not stick well. See panko and Japanese goods.
