Panko (빵가루) are Korean-style breadcrumbs known for their light, airy, and crispy texture. Unlike finer Western breadcrumbs, these larger flakes absorb less oil, resulting in a crunchier and less greasy coating for fried foods. They are essential for creating the signature texture of dishes like Korean-style tonkatsu (donkkaseu), fried chicken, or crispy shrimp. Use them to coat chicken, pork, fish, or vegetables before frying or baking for a satisfyingly crisp finish. For an extra golden-brown crust, lightly toast the panko in a dry pan before using. These breadcrumbs are a versatile staple in any Korean pantry, perfect for anyone looking to replicate the authentic crunch of Korean fried dishes at home. Contains WHEAT.
