About Katsu

Katsu is a popular dish originating from Japanese cuisine, typically consisting of a breaded and deep-fried cutlet of pork or chicken. The protein is coated in flour, egg, and panko breadcrumbs, creating a crisp, golden exterior while maintaining tender, juicy meat inside. Traditionally paired with steamed rice, shredded cabbage, and a tangy tonkatsu sauce, katsu provides a satisfying balance of textures and flavors. While protein-rich, katsu tends to be high in calories and fat due to the deep-frying process. Nutritional aspects can vary based on preparation, with oven-baking or air-frying offering healthier alternatives. Served alongside vegetables, it can contribute to a well-rounded meal, but moderation is key for those mindful of fat and sodium intake. Katsu embodies the comforting yet indulgent essence of Japanese cooking, making it a beloved choice for casual and family dining.
