You’re not alone if you thought Panko was only for Asian cuisine. But, nothing could be further from the truth. Panko can be used in almost every type of cuisine. Simply stated, Upper Crust Panko is another (better) type of breadcrumb and can be used just like breadcrumbs, but with 26% higher yield, a clean ingredient deck and provides superior results.
Still not convinced? What if we showed you 3 simple ways an Authentic Panko can transform standard American classics from ordinary to extraordinary?
Jazz it up with Panko in your own flour mix!
- Panko as a Crispy Coating. An authentic Japanese Panko will add a light-airy crispy texture to fried items without an oily taste. A quality authentic Panko will release oil after frying which helps keep sogginess at bay, giving your menu item an extra appealing plate presentation and a light crispy taste. Try it on Beer-Batter Onion Rings or Crispy Chicken Fingers!
- Top Crusting with Panko. Panko is an excellent top coating for baked menu items; casseroles, macaroni and cheese and even desserts. Panko’s light and airy texture is worlds away from the heavy, overly bready taste of standard bread crumbs that overpower the flavor of your dish. Authentic Panko is flavor neutral; it adds texture and crispiness without changing the flavor.
- Use Panko as a Mix-in and Stuffing. Authentic Japanese Panko helps retain moisture without adding a bready flavor, making it excellent to use as a mix-in for meatloaf, crab cakes, hamburgers, and fish cakes. Any recipe that needs moisture control will work perfectly with Panko. Additionally, Panko also makes an incredibly light stuffing for mushrooms and fish.
