LOBO - PANKO FLAKES OF BREAD CRUMBS
Panko is a type of flaky bread crumbs used in Japanease 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, it has a crisper, airier texture than most types of breading found
in western countries and
maintains its texture baked or deep fried, resulting in a lighter coating. Outside Japan, its use is becoming more popular in both Asian and
non-Asian dishes. It is often used on seafood.
The word パン粉 (panko) is derived from pan, giving us the word for bread in Japanese (derived from the Portuguese
word "pão" for bread), and -粉 (-ko), a Japanese Kanji indicating
"flour", "coating", "crumb", or "powder"
on occasion, when used as a suffix; (as in komeko, "rice powder", sobako, "buckwheat flour", and komugiko, "wheat flour").
