Korokke

Korokke (Japanese: コロッケ) is the Japanese name for a deep-fried dish originally related to a Portuguese dish, the croquette. It was introduced in the early 1900s.

Korokke is made by mixing cooked chopped meat, seafood, or vegetables with mashed potato or white sauce, rolling it in wheat flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs, then deep frying this until brown on the outside. Korokke are usually shaped like a flat patty. Those using white sauce may also be called Cream Korokke. They are also available in curry flavor.^[1]

Korokke can be eaten as is, and are sometimes sold wrapped in paper at stalls. They may also be used as a topping for other dishes. When sandwiched between two slices of bread, they are called Korokke pan (pan being bread in Japanese).^{[citation needed]}
