Ingredients

  • 4 medium Potatoes
  • 1/2 Onion, finely chopped
  • 3/4 Apple
  • 1/2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Sugar
  • 100 grams Ground pork (optional)
  • 1 Panko, plain flour, and egg
  • 1 dash Burdock root

Method

  • Cook the apples and onion and mash while simmering.
  • Grating them is also fine, but I don't recommend it since it produces too much liquid.
  • Add the ground pork, soy sauce, and sugar, and saute for a while.
  • Boil and mash the potatoes.
  • After a substantial amount of the liquid has evaporated from the apple mixture, stir in the potatoes.
  • Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into apple-like balls.
  • Coat the croquette balls in the flour, beaten egg, and panko, then reshape.
  • Make the indentations using chopsticks and your fingers.
  • Deep fry them in plenty of oil (over medium heat).
  • Deep fry the burdock root cut into stem-like matchsticks, and set them into the croquettes.
  • Kids will love these with an apple-based sauce, made from boiling down a mixture of 1 tablespoon grated apple, 1 tablespoon honey, and 4 tablespoons Japanese Worcestershire-style sauce to a thick sauce.
