This is the Japanese version of breadcrumbs or bread crumbs. Panko is made from milk rolls, which already have a very thin crust. This is removed, however. The rolls are crushed and the crumbs are then dried.
Japanese vs. German breadcrumbs
Japanese Panko are much lighter, crispier and airier than German breadcrumbs. Panko also absorbs significantly less oil or fat during the frying process than breadcrumbs. It should be stored cool, dark and dry and, if stored correctly, it will keep for a long time.
Where is Panko used?
Panko is used, for example, for Kazu (pork schnitzel) and Korokke (hand-sized croquette variation with minced meat), but also for Hamukazu (very thin schnitzel with ham flavor).
