  • Tonkatsu is a Japanese crumbed pork cutlet. A little like a German or Australian schnitzel, tonkatsu is one of the most popular forms of yōshoku (Western food incorporated into Japanese cuisine). You can find it in many forms - as curry, sandwiches, rice bowls etc. - but its most pure form is as a straight tonkatsu. Just the cutlet, served with shredded cabbage, a thick Worcestershire-like tonkatsu sauce, rice and miso soup on the side.
    There’s a bit of an art to making a great tonkatsu, and here’s how you do it.

    When Adam says "the reason for that is.." I know I'm about to learn something amazing that transfers to all forms of cooking. Genuinely Adam, I've been cooking for years but I learn so much from these videos. I only came to expand my Asian cooking.

    This video is awesome on so many levels .As a half Austrian- half - German , I didn’t expect that in a country so far away , the schnitzel has been able to be incorporated in one of the best cuisines in the world . Here we are loving ramen and sushi, and they eat Schnitzel and Baumkuchen . I love how one enriches the other . History and humanity connect us. Not always for the good , but it is important to appreciate the work of all cultures in the world
    Health upon you and keep firing those amazing recipes !!

    The story of Panko is even crazier than just the fact it's risen by electricity: Japanese soldiers invented it during WWII because the only energy source they had to 'bake' with was their tank batteries! And just like that they accidentally invented the crunchiest and airiest breadcrumbs known to man.

    • @roble98
      @roble98 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree! The chef knows the recipe, but the process behind it is what they are trying to change to make the recipe appealing to the customer as they are supposed to be the experts on how to cook the food and the process behind it on how to truly make it. This deals in plate prep to make it visually appealing, prep and finesse in technique and how and why you cook a specific dish the way it is cooked. The detail is in the way the chef does it, a cook usually just knows how to cook/prepare a dish, the chef can figure out why....the process :) (Basically a longer form of what you just said....lolz :)

  • @ngno9493
    @ngno9493 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You can know how passionate a chef is by looking at not only his skill, but the sparkling lightning in his eyes while he looks at the ingredients, also listening to the way he explains everything in such a clear, clever and precise manner. This is when you realise a good chef is more than just making cooking merely a cooking, but making the process alive.
