Ttukdak Hyung's Menchi Katsu

A fragrant Japanese-style dish featuring homemade meat patties filled with perilla leaves, coated in a classic batter for a crispy exterior and rich, juicy interior.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Because the patties are thick, frying at high heat will burn the outside while leaving the inside undercooked. Be sure to fry at 160°C (320°F) over medium-low heat and follow the timing.
  • The pungent aroma of minced perilla leaves strongly suppresses the gamey smell of the meat and brightens the greasiness of the fried dish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a fluffy, juicy minced meat cutlet that is distinctly different from tonkatsu.
  • Those who want to recreate an authentic Japanese dining-style menchi katsu as a family menu item.
