Menchi Katsu (Japanese Fried Hamburgers)

Jul 23, 2020 13:00

Some years ago, I made the Hungarian fried burgers/patties/balls called "fasirt". These panko breaded and fried Japanese hamburgers, or "menchi katsu", reminded me of them. They're flavourful and the coating seals in the moisture making for a juicy patty.

Mmmm, that looks so much better than the quesadilla I had.

I'm clearing out the hard drive of dishes I've made during my 'hiatus' from posting. I think I had this back in May??

I made smoked ham egg fu yung with home made gravy yesterday and served it with long grain rice and a salad. Will probably reheat that in another hour or so. My bread likely won't be ready to have the brinner (fried ham and eggs) I had planned on, and I'm getting really hungry. :)

Oh, man, I thought you'd just made this. Still looks fabulous!

With the warm weather (even with the A/C on) I'm taking it easy from most big cooking jobs these days. The freezer and microwave are my friends. :)

Those look well worth trying once it gets cooler, and now I'm really craving cabbage. I had been wanting mu shu shrimp, but I'd dive into some coleslaw, too.

I buy the bags of shredded coleslaw mix after a couple of cycles of buying the romaine lettuce heart trios to switch things up esp to serve with pork chops. One of these days I should buy a small cabbage so I can finally use the mandoline I bought pre-lockdown. And then make tonakatsu or chicken katsu to go with it. :)

We have a mandoline which I've never used because it scares me. Shog uses it with a chain glove. I shred with a box grater or the food processor. :P

I'm also scared of frying anything in oil, which makes my family laugh at me because everyone fries chicken in multiple ways. (I bake mine.)

I like your way of mixing up your coleslaw base.

I tend to shred my knuckles with my box grater. I have shredding blades for my food processor but am just too lazy to dig out the bag that I keep them in and switch out the disc that's currently there. :)

I just hate the mess/smell of frying. I've had an 'incident' in the past. It's one of the reasons we have tile on the kitchen floor instead of the HORRIBLE green 'carpet' that was there when we bought the house.

I didn't like cabbage for most of my life but I WILL eat it raw. Strange, I know. I buy the coleslaw salad dressing and pour it on. The ultimate in lazy salad production.
