Skillet Korokke is a delicious and convenient alternative to traditional deep-fried korokke. The mashed potato filling and crispy panko topping come together in an iron skillet, creating the same great taste as the deep-fried version. If you want to enjoy korokke but don’t have the time to cook the potatoes, shape the patties, batter them, and deep-fry, this skillet method is perfect for you. It’s all done right in the skillet, and you can serve it straight to the dining table. The key is getting that signature crispy exterior on the panko topping, which gives you the authentic korokke experience without the hassle of deep-frying. This skillet version is just as tasty, but much easier to prepare. Hope you give it a try!
Vegetable Korokke (野菜コロッケ) is a deep-fried dish consisting of mashed potato and vegetables with a crispy outer layer of Panko bread crumbs. While our regular Korokke typically include meat such as ground beef or pork, this version is vegetarian-friendly. By substituting butter in the recipe with vegetable oil, it can also be transformed into a vegan dish.
Curry Korokke is just like Japanese Potato Korokke (croquette) but the filling is flavored with curry powder. The process and ingredients of making Curry Korokke are very similar to regular Korokke, but a little change of the spice makes this ordinary entree taste like a completely different food.
Kani Cream Korokke is another popular western-style Japanese dish that has been around for a long time. A mixture of creamy béchamel sauce and crab meat is coated with bread crumbs and deep-fried. Kani Cream Korokke is often found on a menu at Yoshokuya (western style Japanese food restaurant) as well as some grocery stores and delis in Japan. Although the cooking steps can be a little finicky, it is worthwhile to make this crunchy creamy morsel at home.
Korokke, deep fried mashed vegetables with meat, is one of everyone’s favorite dish in Japan. My family loves it, too. Korokke is usually made with mashed potatoes and ground beef, but today I substituted potatoes with Kabocha (Japanese pumpkin.) Kabocha is naturally very sweet and soft when steamed, and it can be mashed very easily. In fact, I even made it easier by using a microwave instead of steaming Kabocha.
Korokke are potato cakes coated with panko and deep fried. Korokke is a food people of all ages love in Japan. Well, who wouldn’t like deep fried mashed potatoes? It does not seem like a traditional style of Japanese food, but it in fact is since Korokke has been popular for 100 years. People in Japan may not have to make Korokke at home because they can find it anywhere, but we do when living outside Japan. It’s hard to get decent tasting Korokke here… Besides you can’t beat homemade Korokke anyway when it’s hot and crispy!
