(Is your mouth watering yet?)<\/p>\n<p>Butchers in Japan prepare <em>korokke<\/em> in their shops, where they have the ingredients needed to make these fried patties on hand. Children would buy one or two <em>korokke<\/em> patties on their way home from school or sports, and Japanese mothers would be famous for making their own family recipes as snacks and dinner favorites.<\/p>\n<p><em>Korokke<\/em>, at its most essential, is a fried patty made of simple, easy-to-find and inexpensive ingredients. Like American hamburgers, they\u2019re ubiquitously available and can be found at many street festival or corner convenience store\u2026 even Seven Eleven! <em>Korokke<\/em> are generally made using cooked ground beef, smashed boiled potatoes, saut\u00e9ed minced onions, salt and pepper, all mixed together. The mixture is formed into a palm-sized patty, coated with flour, eggs and panko breadcrumbs and then deep fried. Adventurous cooks add curry or cheese or make them vegetarian by replacing the beef with carrots and other vegetables! McDonald\u2019s in Japan even introduced their own seasonal version of <em>korokke <\/em>and made a burger out of it, called the \u201cGracoro Burger\u201d, although their recipe deviates quite a bit from traditional <em>korokke<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2108\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/korokkepan.jpg\" alt=\"korokkepan\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Korokke<\/em> patties are even better in sandwiches, called <em>korokke pan<\/em>. These sandwiches, made with a <em>korokke<\/em> patty stuffed into either a sesame seed bun or dinner roll along with finely shredded cabbage and <em>tonkatsu<\/em> sauce, can be found at bakeries and sandwich shops across Japan. <em>Korokke pan<\/em> are perfect for packing into a bag or taking on a trip, and are great when you\u2019re on the go. Convenience stores sell them packaged and sometimes warmed, so even if you don\u2019t make them at home or aren\u2019t near a specialty shop, you can find them easily when traveling around Japan.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to try <em>korokke<\/em>, check out this <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/app\/recipe\/rice-croquette\">recipe<\/a><\/span><\/span> using rice on our website, or try out a patty or sandwich from your local Japanese grocery store.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for our continuing series about Japanese street food!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warning: korokke is addictive!
