Panko is a really light shredded-looking breading that my parents started using from the oriental grocery. Don't know who turned them on to it. It looks, but does not taste, a lot like the "coconut shrimp" breading you see at Outback. I'm not sure what it is made from, but it is really light so you don't get a heavy, fried feel to it. Try it. It works great on just about anything you fry. By the way, it was absolutely delicious last night and today for lunch. It reheats in a microwave much better than most fried stuff.
