Turning Japanese at Coles

Coles has a great special until 8 January – Nisshin Panko Bread Crumbs and Kewpie Mayonnaise at 2 for $6. I'm not sure if that means you can get one of each for $6, but anyway, this sets you up for all sorts of delicious Japanese recipes.

You could use your panko bread crumbs to coat chicken or pork schnitzel to make katsu, which you could then serve with your kewpie mayo.

Or you could toss pan-fried vegetables in panko and then drizzle them with mayo. A couple of years ago for a friend's Thanksgiving party I made a 'bean casserole' using a similar recipe.
