In my experience (while living in Japan) chicken (tori) or pork(ton) katsu is frequently served on top of a bed of thinly sliced cabbage not directly on top of the rice.

[@crestonediamond]

This is the only place where they dropped the ball: some nice shredded cabbage with a strong hint of vinegar or thinly sliced cucumber. AND, presentation is everything, including the plate it served on. Gee! I miss Japan.

When it comes to frying, especially, I think it's important to listen to the sound of whatever you're frying. The sound will give you the best sense of when something is either cooking too quickly or too slowly....oh, and don't forget about the bubbles. 😏

For the best most authentic chicken Katsu you need to have some nama panko which you can create by lightly spraying some panko with water. Use between 25-50% nama panko to panko. It gives you the fluffiest crispiest coating ever. I prefer hatcho miso sauce with the katsu myself.

[@ruthless4645]

It should be noted that the Misono UX10 Santoku is a "RIGHT-HANDED" knife only. It is sharpened in the traditional Japanese way where right edge of the blade is at a different angle than the left (or in some cases, like sushi knives, only sharpened on ONE side), making it useable only for the hand it was designed for AND difficult to sharpen for the average home chef. If you're going to spend over $200.00 for this knife MAKE SURE you know how to sharpen it or you'll ruin it the first time you try an sharpen it. As far as I can find this particular knife is not offered in a left-hand model.

[@Violetsoul6]

Using the stainless steel whisk in the “Gold Touch” pie pan or any non-stick surface pan might scratch the beautiful surface. The Asian way is to use chopsticks to whisk the eggs, it’ll prevent scratching to your pan.

Depending on the quality of the non-stick surface, the chop sticks can still scratch but they are much softer than metal whisks.

[@robertmcelfresh1031]

Can you tell a difference if you season the eggs (where the salt or pepper can clump) vs seasoning the breading?

[@rmknicks]

I feel like if you add salt to the breading the salt will just fall to the bottom of the dish. I salt the chicken directly where it will stick and be more even.

[@robertmcelfresh1031]

@@rmknicks I tried brining some chicken so I skipped the salt in the flour/wash to try and avoid too much salt. I did use a spice rub on the chicken. The result was bland, un-interesting. Since the breading is the first thing your taste-buds touch, it needs salt.

Was the salmon pulled earlier to get to room temp before cooking?? I have seen a few of your shows were I wonder. Anyhow I love your recipes and your show!! I am so glad to learn you guys have episodes on here. I live in Mexico and I missed your shows for a little while. Now I am back to watch and try new recipes!!!

[@Publiclighthouse]

Does anyone know how the taste of the chicken would differ if you coated the chicken 8n a base starch first (like corn starch) then dipped it in egg followed by the bread crumbs? I see ,many other recipes, though not for Panko encrusted chicken, that have a coating of starch first.

[@tom_something]

If you don't feel like making your own sauce, but you can't find katsu sauce at your grocery store, A1 Steak Sauce is surprisingly similar. I know, I know, you think I'm just saying things, but get this: I don't use A1 for anything else. I don't put it on my steak, none of that. And I won't say A1 is a substitute for barbecue sauce, unagi sauce, nothing else. I've had tonkatsu (pork instead of chicke) many times in Japanese restaurants, even had it in Tokyo. So I like to think I know what I'm talking about, a little bit. It's not 1:1, but it's closer than pretty much anything else in the condiment aisle. You don't know me, I don't know you. Take it with a grain of salt. But if you're in a bind and in a trusting mood, it's there for you to try.

Dan explained it in his salmon video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZackqSKh5h1mLc TL;DW - wild has less fat and more connective tissue, so it will feel correctly cooked at a lower temperature than farmed.

Questions: White miso used for its salty & sweet, but then an exorbitant amount of sugar was added?(!); Why wouldn't one eat the skin as he mentioned?

[@marylockwood4400]

That's too much sugar! The mirin has salt and sugar already. Miso is very high in sodium. Use judiciously.... Or get reduced sodium miso.

Interesting knife test. Nothing was said about blade hardness, that special sweet spit being hard enough to hold an edge for a while, not so hard that the blade chips or is difficult to sharpen.

[@cindyo6298]

Real question: is there a reason why you didn't use more oil for the cutlets? In my experience, using more oil makes the food absorb less oil because there's even absorption of oil from the top and the bottom.

[@Drazer012]

Thought the main point of Panko is that its supposed to be bigger crumbs? lol

[@firstlast446]

Kinda? It's that and that the crumbs themselves are thinner and crispier because of how their made instead of being little balls like with normal crumbs. You don't lose that by making them more broken up.

[@silverdawn813]

the main point of panko is that they're made to be lighter and airier than regular bread crumbs which results in a much crispier fry with less grease/oil absorbed. bashing them into smaller pieces doesn't change that. what changes is the texture, smaller crumbs would be as they described it, "crisp and feathery" as opposed to leaving the panko whole which would definitely be crunchy

[@juansierralonche9864]

Huh? Who said the point of panko crumbs is that they're bigger? I've never heard that. They're known for being lighter and crispier

[@Drazer012]

@@juansierralonche9864 Yeah, and they give a super fluffy crust because they're larger in part, its a texture difference form regular breadcrumbs.

add a teaspoon of neutral oil per each egg before beating - the panko will stick never fail~ and why no citrus note in the katsu sauce?

[@danawilliams334]

I absolutely love how thin those chicken pieces are cut, but is there an easier way for me to cut them just like that exactly? I have a hard time cutting chicken Parallel that way rather than the other way.

[@darlenerothenay6251]

I have a meat pounder, much like the one they used. If you do not have one, use a small, flat bottomed fry pan. Put each piece in a heavy duty food bag and pound away. They come out even and no knives needed. It work’s perfectly for me every time!

[@HiveMind2024]

Awesome!

[@marieshanahan5276]

Terrific.😊

[@robertmcelfresh1031]

The browning was un-even. Can you try putting a empty pot with foil lining the outside & bottom and using it to press down the cutlets so one side is uniformly browned? I have gotten beautiful magazine-cover ready browning this way. You can press both sides, but then you have to remove or replace the foil so the side pressing on raw chicken does not later press on the cooked side.

[@wizeacr867]

Broiler set to Hi or Lo?

[@chrislanter8780]

Does the tonkatsu sauce thicken on its own or need to be reduced?

[@jinkim23]

They don't cook the sauce, so if you want it thicker, use more ketchup. Or go to your local Asian store and get the Bulldog brand tonkatsu sauce, it's the best.

[@madness42192]

Why would you use panko if you’re gonna turn it into regular breadcrumbs

[@chinchilladivine81]

Mike The Panko is still a lighter, “airier” texture than traditional breadcrumbs. Also, even beaten, the Panko pieces are still sort of irregular in shape and remains somewhat jagged whereas traditional breadcrumbs are very small and uniform in shape. As well, the Panko fries crisper while being less dense. I hope that helps and wasn’t just annoying! :)

[@halehsasani4730]

Good job

[@Paelorian]

I'm looking forward to trying that miso salmon and maybe the cutlet. I have a jar of great miso I enjoy using. Lasts a very long time. I don't have sake but I do have a bottle of good mirin in the fridge I haven't tried yet. It's not expensive and should keep. I don't know if that's true of sake. Since I don't have sake and don't want to buy a bottle for one serving of salmon, I'll try substituting mirin and using less sugar. I'll have a less complex taste, perhaps, but it should be somewhat close and if I love the recipe I can pick up a bottle of sake for the future. This seems like a great simple way to make salmon, with a simple easy marinade that can be made in small quantities as needed. Then right on some foil into the toaster oven to broil. Due to the sugar and koji in the marinade I expect my toaster oven is probably powerful enough to brown the fish and I won't need to use the stronger broiler in my full-size oven. Real easy and little cleanup. I'm hoping the marinade keeps the flesh moist at a higher cooking temperature because I'm too wary of parasites and pathogens to cook wild salmon to 120°F unless it's been specifically processed for raw eating ("sushi grade").

[@Paelorian]

@@guineapiggon Thank you, I was hoping someone would correct me before I screwed up. But wouldn't the alcohol in mirin be enough? Mirin may generally have less alcohol than sake and vary a great deal in alcohol content. But still, high-quality mirin has an alcohol content on par with an alcoholic beverage. It's rice wine, like sake. The most alcoholic _hon mirin_ I think in the US you may have to go to a Japanese alcohol specialty shop to find (or order online), but more common good stuff found well-stocked markets that carry some Japanese panty essentials are still fairly alcoholic. The cheap adulterated mirins (or mirin-flavored whatever they are) are only a few percent alcohol. I have a bottle of a brand recommended by ATK/CI and Serious Eats, Mitoku Organic Mikawa Mirin. I've read the alcohol content is 14%, though it's not listed on the bottle. Shouldn't alcoholic mirin alone satisfy the alcohol component of this dish? I'm reluctant to buy sake because I don't use it in my cooking at present and an open bottle spoils much more quickly than mirin. Which is why I bought mirin in the first place. It was inexpensive and I could keep it in the fridge for two years. Sake is more expensive and I don't expect it to stay fresh after a few months.

That Panko needed seasoning.

[@kumakiel8850]

There’s... so many better ways to do this. You need to have the pan or pot filled with oil. Use a sift to gather the leftover bread crumbs to prevent burning. And don’t crush them. The point is to keep the bread crumbs big, they won’t soak as much oil. The sauce is supposed to be: ketchup, soy sauce, worcesthire, sugar and OYSTER sauce. You also don’t eat it with just rice. It would be too heavy a meal. You need a small salad on the side.

[@gullreefclub]

Growing up before we in America had ever head of Panko breadcrumbs where I grew up and pan fried fish,chicken, or perhaps veal cutlets (there was a time in America veal cutlets were not expensive) the coating of choice for pan frying was Saltine crack sser crumbs and if you happened to be short of Saltine Crackers or were looking for a change things up crushed Cornflakes or Wheaties and if you ever wanted to be different an mix of all three. So maybe instead of spending the money on Panko at the grocery store maybe open the pantry door and grab the box of Saltines or breakfast cereal and give them a crush and then a fry. PS save the Ritz for eating.
