Cooking tips

  • When cooking butter and flour, avoid high heat—too much heat will turn the roux brown. Always cook on low heat until it becomes pale and creamy for a clean white sauce.
  • If the mixture becomes too soft to hold shape, chilling it thoroughly in the fridge is essential to firm up the sauce before shaping.
  • Avoid disturbing the croquettes during frying—frequent handling can cause the coating to crack and the cream to leak out. Let them cook undisturbed until fully golden.
  • Using store-bought moist breadcrumbs instead of dry ones yields a more authentic, crisp, and lively texture reminiscent of Japanese restaurant-style croquettes.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to transform leftover raw fish sashimi into a refined dish instead of discarding it.
  • Parents looking to make a creamy, rich, and beloved fried treat that kids will love.
  • Anyone seeking a premium Japanese-style appetizer that pairs perfectly with beer or highballs.
