Katsu is a popular Japanese dish that features breaded and deep-fried meat, usually pork or chicken. The meat is coated in a layer of flour, dipped in beaten egg, and then covered with panko breadcrumbs, which give it a crispy texture. Once fried, it is often served with a tangy sauce, shredded cabbage, and rice, making it a delicious and satisfying meal. In addition to the classic versions, there are variations like Tonkatsu, which specifically refers to pork katsu, and Chicken Katsu, which uses chicken instead. Katsu is not only enjoyed in Japan but has also gained popularity worldwide, often found in Japanese restaurants and fusion cuisine.
