ENSO Panko (Japanese Breadcrumbs) - 100gm

Japanese-style crumbs for next-level crunch — light, golden, and never heavy.

Panko is the crumb I reach for when I want that proper “Japanese crunch” — crisp, airy, and beautifully golden. Compared to regular breadcrumbs, panko stays lighter and crunchier, so your schnitzels, katsu, prawns and croquettes don’t end up dense or oily.

Why it earns a spot in my pantry

Because it’s a texture upgrade that works across heaps of meals. One bag turns everyday chicken, fish, veg or leftovers into something you’d happily serve to guests — and it plays perfectly with sauces like ENSO Tonkatsu.

Chef Ian’s best ways to use it

• Katsu/Tonkatsu: flour → egg → panko → fry or air fry, then finish with ENSO Tonkatsu Sauce
• Crumbed prawns & fish: quick coat for a crisp, clean finish
• Oven/air fryer crunch: spray lightly with oil for an even golden result
• Croquettes: potato, pumpkin, seafood — panko gives that pro-level crust
• Crispy topping: toast in a pan, then sprinkle over mac & cheese, baked veg, salads, pasta bakes
• Zero-waste upgrade: crumb leftover roast chicken or veg patties to give them a second life

Flavour profile

Neutral and savoury — it’s all about texture: light, crisp, and crunchy.
