Food - Korokke コロッケ

コロッケ (Korokke), Japanese croquette, a deep fried dish with vegetables and meat. It is originally related a to French dish, Croquette.

The original recipe of the Korokke can be found at "Korokke recipe".

Someone maybe wondering why I didn't post the recipe of Korokke on the blog, because I want to introduce another type of Korokke which is easier for me to made. I learn it from a Taiwan's TV cooking show. Because of I didn't take down the note of the recipe, so I didn't write the quantity of the ingredient. You have to measure by yourself...... (Sorry for not able giving the details)



Step1, prepare the ingredient:
~ sweet potatoes (I have two)
~ Cheese for filling (those processed cheese, eg. Chesdale)
~ a little salt
~ pepper for season
~ vegetable oil
Coating: ~ Flour, egg and breadcrumb






Step2, Boil the sweet potatoes until soften, peel and mash the sweet potatoes while they are hot. (this will be easier to mash) Add a little salt and pepper for season and let it cool.





Step3, Take a piece of cheese and fold it into half twice(A whole piece of cheese for one korokke), then there should be four small pieces of square cheese(still for one korokke).

* Because of mine korokke is so small, so I break the cheeses into more smaller pieces and half of one piece of cheese can be enough for one korokke filling by fold it into half.



Step4, (rub some vegetable oil over your hands)Divide the sweet potatoes into several parts (depends on the quantities serving and the size of the korokke you desire), roll them into ball shape. Now put the filling (cheese) into the "ball" by made a pit on the ball. Cover the cheese, and roll it again, then flatten the "ball" into a flat and oval shape.


Step5, Here comes the coating, coat each korokke with flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and coat it with the breadcrumb. (no photo, because I'm forgot......)

Step 6, Heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat. Then fried it! By using low fire / soft fire(?)/small fire. Fried the korokke until golden brown.Remove it from the oil, set on paper towel to drain excess oil.

Finally, it ready to be eat! Serve it with rice with tomato sauce or topping would be tasty!


BON APPETITE! (oops! One is too black....)
(the filling of the korokke I made feel soft...)

* Use 4 and above sweet potatoes can made more korokke in bigger size. Mine korokke is smaller than normal one. You can see it through the link above.
