Korokke (Croquette) コロッケ

recipe source, adapted from Just One Cookbook
(I make half of this recipe)

Ingredients:

2 lb (about 4 potatoes, peeled and halved (i use 2 potatoes)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp butter (i use 1/2 Tbsp butter)
2 Tbsp oil ( i use 1 Tbsp oil)
1 large Onion
1 lb ground beef (i use 1/2 lb/230 g ground chicken breast )
Salt 
Freshly ground black pepper
3 eggs (i use 1 Large egg)
2 cups Panko ( i use 1 cup)
1/2 cup flour (i use 1/3 cup)
Oil for deep frying 
Tonkatsu Sauce (or Homemade Tonkatsu Sauce)

To do:

In a large pot, put water and potatoes and bring it to a boil. Cook potatoes until a skewer goes through the potato easily.


Remove the potato from the heat and drain the water completely. When you do so, use a lid to partially cover so the potatoes don’t fall out from the pot.

Move the pot back to the stove. On low heat shift the pot so that remaining moisture will completely evaporate (but don’t burn them).


Transfer the potatoes into a large bowl and mash the potatoes. Add salt, pepper, and butter

Meanwhile, chop onion finely.
In a large skillet, heat oil on medium high heat. Sauté onion until soft.

Add the meat and break it up with a wooden spoon. When the meat is cooked, add salt and black pepper. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
Before adding the meat into the mashed potatoes in the bowl, get rid of the juice from the meat. If the mixture is too soft due to too much liquid, you can’t make a nice korokke shape and it won’t be the right texture when you bite into it.

Set aside till cool down a bit (so you can actually hold the mixture with your hands).

While the mixture is still warm, but not hot, start making Korokke balls  Let the Korokke balls rest in the fridge for 15-30 minutes (make sure they are completely cool before deep frying).

Dredge each ball in flour, egg, and Panko. Put the Korokke back in the fridge till oil is ready for frying.

In a wok, heat oil over medium high heat. Deep fry Korokke until they are golden brown (How To Deep Fry Food). Inside is already cooked, so all you need to do is to make it nice brown color.

Transfer Korokke to paper towels and let the oil absorbed in the paper. Serve immediately with Tonkatsu Sauce.

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
