Katsu is popular Japanese dish in my country. Katsu has several variations, such as

  1. chicken katsu which the main ingredient is chicken breast or chicken thigh,
  2. tonkatsu (pork cutlet), and
  3. gyukatsu (deep-fries wagyu beef cutlet).

The most popular katsu in my town is chicken katsu. You can easily find it in several restaurants. But making kitchen katsu will be special for your family if you make it yourself. Obviously homemade food is much better!

The ingredients

The difference between katsu and schnitzel is the breadcrumbs we use for breading. Chicken katsu use panko breadcrumbs while schnitzel use regular breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs is larger than regular breadcrumbs and make the breading crispier. So don’t forget to use panko breadcrumbs for this recipe.
