What’s in my pantry? Panko breadcrumbs

Filed under: What's in my pantry — Nicky @ 3:20 pm

Okay, so you don’t have the time or patience to make breadcrumbs at home, then I would suggest giving panko breadcrumbs a try.  Panko breadcrumbs are also called by another name, Japanese breadcrumbs.  I really like the texture of these breadcrumbs, they are larger than standard breadcrumbs and seem to crisp up better.  These breadcrumbs are unseasoned, so you need to make sure you season them or the food you are breading.  It appears as though there are also honey panko breadcrumbs that are suppose to be great in desserts, I, however, have never tried them.  I have used the standard panko breadcrumbs to make eggplant parmigiana and other things.  These breadcrumbs stood up very well.  Panko breadcrumbs seem to retain their texture better than normal breadcrumbs.  So, if you are looking to try something other than your classic breadcrumb in a can you can be a little adventurous and try panko breadcrumbs.
