Best Korroke With Tonkatsu Sauce Japanese Potato Croquettes With Eas Recipes

KOROKKE (JAPANESE POTATO AND GROUND MEAT CROQUETTES)

Steps:

• Put potatoes in a saucepan and add water to cover the potatoes sufficiently. Turn the heat on high and bring to a simmer.
• Cook potatoes until a bamboo skewer or a thin knife can get through to the centre of the potatoes easily. This will take 15-40 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes (note 5).
• When the potatoes are cooked, drain into a colander. Peel the potatoes immediately and place them into the saucepan just emptied. It is very hot so use a cloth or layers of kitchen paper to hold the potatoes.
• Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes mostly but leaving some tiny chunks of potatoes.
• While boiling potatoes, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a fry pan over medium high heat. Add onion and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and soft (about 3-5 minutes). Add pork, salt & pepper and cook, breaking it up as you go until browned and cooked through.
• Add the cooked mince to the potatoes in the pot (discard oil if accumulated in the fry pan), then the Korokke Flavouring ingredients. Mix well (note 6).
• Divide the potato mixture into 12 equal balls. Flatten them and shape into oval patties, about 2cm/¾" thick.
• Place flour, egg and breadcrumbs in a shallow plate or bowl individually.
• Coat each patty with flour, egg, then breadcrumbs.
• Heat oil in a deep fry pan over medium heat. Fry the patties for 1-2 minutes until the breadcrumbs become golden brown. You can fry more than one patty at a time but do not overcrowd the fry pan.
• Serve immediately with shredded cabbage with a stem of parsley leaves, accompanied by tonkatsu sauce.

• Form each portion into a small sausage shape.
• Dredge each portion in flour, then dip each into the remainder of the beaten egg.
• Coat each croquette with panko or unseasoned breadcrumbs.
• Arrange the breaded croquettes on a waxed paper-covered tray or cookie sheet.
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours- this ensures a crunchier result when deep-fried.

KOROKKE (JAPANESE CROQUETTES)

Steps:

• Boil potatoes until tender.
• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, saute the ground beef, carrots and onions.
• Saute until the ground meat is no longer pink, the onions are translucent and the carrots are tender.
• Drain potatoes and in a large bowl, mash with milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Potatoes need to be sticky, not creamy like mashed potatoes.
• Combine the meat mixture with the potato mixture in a large bowl.
• In three pans or plates, put the following: flour, beaten eggs, and Panko crumbs.
• Roll the potato mixture into a ball, about the size of a small snowball, about 3" in diameter.
• Roll ball in flour and thoroughly coat it.
• Next, roll the ball in the beaten eggs.
• Finally, roll the ball in the Panko crumbs, thoroughly coating it.
• I recommend completing all 'balls' up to this point, as the next step goes quickly.
• Heat a pot of vegetable oil (oil should completely cover croquettes) to a temperature of about 365 degrees.
• Place 'croquettes' into hot oil using tongs and fry until outside is golden, turning over as needed.
• Using tongs, place cooked korokkes on a paper towel lined plate.
• Serve with Tonkatsu sauce.
