The panko is, his, to be found with torpedo shrimp, breaded shrimp tails, ideal for aperitifs. Used extensively in Asian cuisine, panko is a variety of Japanese breadcrumbs used mainly for breading foods before frying them. Panko is also used in fusion dishes and in certain Western cuisines to provide a crispy texture to different preparations.. The word panko comes from the Japanese pan (pain) don't you (crumbs). Unlike traditional breadcrumbs, panko is prepared from white bread crumbs, without crust, oven dried, then coarsely ground. These breadcrumbs have gained popularity outside of Japan due to this unique texture which results in a lighter, airier crispy layer when baking..
The tempura, a popular dish
Tempura is loved not only in Japan, but all over the world. To make tempura, the ingredients are dipped in a batter made of flour, iced water, of eggs, and sometimes baking powder, to obtain a light and crispy texture. The dough is mixed barely evenly, so that lumps of flour remain visible, which contributes to its texture. Once the ingredients are breaded in the tempura batter, they are dipped in hot oil to fry them quickly. Tempura is cooked at high temperature to prevent it from absorbing too much oil. Foods cooked in tempura have a delicate texture, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a slight sweet and salty taste. Tempura can be enjoyed on its own as a main dish, or accompanied by rice, soba noodles or other dishes for a complete meal. This preparation originated in Japan and was influenced by Portuguese culinary techniques introduced to the country in the 16th century..
