Something you can make with panko breadcrumbs
Origin
Panko breadcrumbs originated in Japan. \"Panko\" is a Japanese word that translates to \"bread flakes\" or \"bread crumbs.\" Panko breadcrumbs are made from white bread without crusts, which is processed into large flakes and then dried through a special method. This technique gives panko breadcrumbs their unique texture and light, airy consistency. Panko breadcrumbs are widely used in Japanese cuisine, particularly for breading and frying dishes such as tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) and tempura. They have also gained popularity in Western cooking as a crispy coating for various foods.
