Panko

Posted on 24. Jan, 2010 by admin in Ingredients

These are unseasoned Japanese breadcrumb made from crustless bread and once you use panko, there is absolutely no wanting to go back to regular, heavy, soggy breadcrumbs. Panko are more like “flakes” than crumbs and the end result is airy, super-crisp coating on whatver it is you’re coating. You can use it to bread seafood, meats or vegetables and you can deep-fry, pan-fry, or even bake for a healthier dish. You can find panko at any Asian market an even at your regular grocer. Check the “Asian” section or the section that sells breadcrumbs. If you can’t find panko, just use regular, unseasoned breadcrumbs.
