Recipe

Master this conversion. One full cup of fresh bread crumbs equals ½ cup of dried bread crumbs, so plan for your recipes accordingly. Panko ( パン粉) is a type of flaky bread crumbs used in Japanese cuisine as a crunchy coating for fried foods, such as tonkatsu. Panko is made from bread baked by electrical current, which yields a bread without a crust, and then grinding the bread to create fine slivers of crumb. [1] It has a crisper, airier texture than most types of breading found in Western cuisine and maintains its texture baked or deep fried, resulting in a lighter coating. [2] Outside Japan, its use has become more common in both Asian and non-Asian dishes. It is often used on seafood and is typically available in Asian markets, speciality stores, and many large supermarkets. Fresh panko bread crumbs puff up when fried due to the evaporation of moisture in the bread. This creates a lighter crust for fried food.
