Cooking tips

  • It's crucial to coat the meat thinly and thoroughly with flour; otherwise, the egg wash and breadcrumbs will easily separate.
  • Wet breadcrumbs with uneven and coarse particles result in a more attractive shape and crispier texture when fried.
  • For beginners, maintaining a medium oil temperature of 150-160°C is key to prevent the outside from burning before the inside is cooked. Cook gently until the inside is done.
  • If butter is unavailable when making the sauce, margarine or regular cooking oil can be used to create the roux.

Recommended for

  • Those who miss the nostalgic, soft Western-style donkatsu sauce flavor from childhood restaurant meals.
  • Those who want to experience the texture of homemade wet breadcrumbs, which are much crispier and juicier than store-bought ones.
  • Those who want to cook a special, heartfelt meat dish for their family or children on the weekend.
