Having some potato in the kitchen and do not know what to do with it hence decided to make some korokke. Korokke is the Japanese name for croquette which is basically mash potato with filling like meat or seafood, breaded and fried to a golden brown. After going through some recipes online and doing some modification of my own to suit my taste. You can easy omit the cheese or change the filling as you need. Simple recipes which take no effort at all to make. Make a bigger batch and you can store the leftover in your freezer for up to a month.
Recipes (Makes about 8 to 10)
4 Medium potatoes (washed and peeled)
1 Egg
1 Onion (Diced finely)
1/2 Carrot (shredded)
5 Shitake mushroom (Diced)
50g Mozzarella cheese
200g Minced beef
1 Tsp Japanese Soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
For breading
3 Egg
2 cup Panko (Japanese Breadcrumbs)
1/2 cup All purpose flour
Method
- Cook the potato till skewer goes through easily about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of your potato. Cut it smaller for faster cooking
- Mash potato but do not mash it too finely, we want to have some chunks of potato for texture
- Saute onion for about 5 min in a lightly oiled pan
- Add carrot, mushroom and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes
- Add meat and brown the meat. Season to taste.
- Add meat mixture into potato and stir to combine
- When the mixture cool slightly, add egg and mix well
- Form into individual korokke and fill each korokke with about a tblsp of mozzarella cheese
- Heat oil in a heavy bottom saucepan to about 180 degree C
- Dredge in flour, egg then panko.
- Fried till golden brown, served with tokatsu sauce readily available at any supermarket, usually you will find the Bull Dog brand.
