I’m quite proud of this discovery. I wasn’t sure if it would work but it totally did.
I decided to try making my own keto panko breadcrumbs from low carb bread from Giant (1 net carb/ slice).
I toasted the bread and then put it in the food processor to make bread crumbs (filtering out small crumbs and reprocessing bigger chunks several times)
I followed a regular tonkatsu recipe, except instead of flour, I dusted the cutlets with carbquik, and then made a homemade tonkatsu sauce with an artificial sweeter.
My wife couldn’t tell the difference between this and real panko. I’d say it was pretty close, but not 100%. It was definitely a satisfying crispy fried bread coating though.
I used less than 1 slice of bread per cutlet (I toasted 4 slices but only used a small portion of it)
Here is a regular tonkatsu recipe which also has a sauce recipe that you could adapt to be no sugar: [https://www.justonecookbook.com/tonkatsu/](https://www.justonecookbook.com/tonkatsu/)
I tried these breadcrumbs to bind meatballs too, and it worked great.
