Kushi Katsu is a popular Japanese dish consisting of skewered and deep-fried ingredients. Typical ingredients include bite-sized pieces of meat like pork, chicken, or seafood, as well as vegetables such as onions, asparagus, or eggplant. Each skewer is coated in a light batter made from egg, flour, and panko breadcrumbs, then fried to golden perfection. Originating from Osaka, Kushi Katsu is often paired with a savory dipping sauce. While rich in flavor and satisfying in texture, its nutritional profile can vary. Protein from meats and nutrients from vegetables make it a source of essential vitamins and minerals. However, the deep-frying process increases fat and calorie content, and the dishes are often high in sodium. For a healthier twist, consider grilling or using an air fryer to reduce fat while still enjoying its savory appeal. Eat in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
