A crunchy batter

Panko is a type of breadcrumb typical in Japanese cuisine. It allows us to make crunchy batters that don’t weigh anything. The difference with traditional breadcrumbs is that panko comes in the form of flakes rather than a powder. It’s ideal for coating seafood, fish and vegetables.
