Curry Croquette-an easy-to-make exotic snack

Overview

[Croquette] is a well-known snack with a crispy texture. It is a very popular snack in the streets and alleys of Japan, and this snack often appears on Japanese family tables. However, this snack is said to have been introduced to Japan from France and was renamed koroke. After improvement, potatoes, onions and minced meat were used to make small pancakes, rolled in flour, egg liquid and bread crumbs, fried in a pan until crispy, and the croquettes were formed. So this is the origin of croquettes. In fact, it has nothing to do with cocacola. When this croquette arrived on my dining table, I modified it into [Curry Croquette]. Curry was added to the minced meat and stir-fried; so the aroma of curry was added to the taste. Because my husband likes curry very much, I also wanted to give this snack a different flavor. My husband and I both like to eat some exotic food, so we often cook some simple exotic dishes. It is easy to buy ingredients in some imported supermarkets on the market, so it is not necessary to go to a restaurant to have an atmosphere. Eating at home is also very atmospheric. Our atmosphere is to watch TV series while eating every day. This Japanese curry is not spicy at all, but the taste is very fragrant and rich. I personally think it is very suitable for this dish. I also made purple rice sushi rice, which is wrapped in sesame seeds; then fried in sesame oil, and finally wrapped in bonito flakes. This method is also a bento sushi rice that Japanese housewives often make. When I was making sushi, I asked my husband to help me because I don’t have the talent to shape the sushi rice. I couldn’t do it several times, but he finally made a beautiful triangular rice ball, which is worthy of praise. He also said that making sushi rice requires a little creativity, so the sushi rice is sorted from large to small. This curry croquette is all a reward for you, because you finished almost all of it, and I only ate two pieces.
