Corn Korokke Recipe ( コーンコロッケ – Japanese Croquette)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Corn Korokke is a classic Japanese dish. It is made from a mixture of mashed potatoes and corn, then coated with panko and deep-fried.  The outside is crispy and the inside is soft and creamy! We eat it by itself, with rice, or with salad.

Korokke is well known and loved by all ages in Japan. We have it at school lunch, in Bento boxes, at convenience stores and of course so many households have it for dinner!

Corn Korokke is one of my memorable foods from Japan. When I was a student, I played tennis after school and I was always hungry before I even got back home. There was a little food stand on my way home and I used to buy one Corn Korokke which cost 80 cents at the time. It was the perfect size and filled me up before I ate my mom’s dinner.

I think Corn Korokke is one of the tastiest and cheapest meals you can cook. In this article, I will explain simple and basic Corn Korokke.

 

What is Korokke meaning?

It is said that Korokke is originally from the French word croquette.  It was mainly eaten with a white sauce base but around1872 it was brought to Japan and changed to a potato base to better suite the Japanese palate.  In French cooking, croquettes are served as an appetizer; but in Japan, Korokke is eaten as an appetizer, snack, or as a main dish!

There are a lot of different Korokke recipes and in this article I explain Corn Korokke!

Japanese Corn Korokke is made from a mixture of mashed potatoes and corn, then coated with panko and deep-fried. It is crispy outside and creamy and soft inside. Everyone loves this dish but it’s especially popular with kids!

 

Tips for making the best Corn Korokke

corn korokke recipe easy

So as I said, making Corn Korokke is so easy! But here are some tips for making the best Corn Korokke!

 

Two tips for Korokke

  1. 1st Flour – 2nd Egg – 3rd Panko
  2. Mash the potatoes well

 

Just those two tips.

 

Before deep-frying, you have to coat the Flour, Egg, and Panko in order, so that the Korokke doesn’t break and comes out nice and crispy!

And If you don’t mash the potatoes well, it causes the shape to break after deep-frying. So make sure to mash well (I use a wood masher).

 

Other Korokke ideas besides Corn

 

So I mentioned there are a lot of different types of Korokke recipes. Here are some of the more popular ideas!

 

1. Kabocha Korokke

Kabocha Korokke is made in Autumn. Simply use Kabocha instead of potato!

2. Kani Cream Korokke

Kani is crab. I always love it when I get Kani Cream Korokke in my bento box!

The ingredients are;

  • onion
  • flour
  • Kanikama

 

3. Vegetable Korokke

Vegetable Korokke is made by simply adding carrot and onion to your normal Korokke recipe.

 

4. Sweet Potato Korokke

This is a basic Korokke in Japan. Using a mixture of sweet potatoes and ground meat to make Korokke!

 

5. Cheese Korokke

Some households add cheese to the middle of their Korokke!

    corn korokke ingredients

Preparation

  • Peel the potato and cut into 8 pieces (You will mash so don't worry about the size or making sure the pieces are even)
  • Boil the water and add the potatoes. Turn the heat down to medium low and cook until the potatoes get soft (You can use a fork to check if the potatoes are soft enough)
  • Peel the corn and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 2 minutes (my microwave is 800w).

Let's cook

  • Add potatoes in a medium bowl and mash using masher (I use a wooden masher)
  • Add salt, bouillon, and milk and mix well.
  • Add corn and mix with the mashed potatoes.
  • Divide the mixture into four servings, and shape each of them into a flat circle.
  • Cover each Korokke with flour and dust with extra flour.
  • Beat an egg in a bowl and dip your floured Korokke, making sure to coat them completely.
  • Cover with panko after dipping the Korokke in egg.
  • Add oil in a small or medium pot and heat to 335F (168C). When it gets to the right temperature, add one Korokke and cook for 45 seconds each side.*1
  • Let's serve! You can eat it by itself or with rice would be perfect too!

Notes

* if you add more than one Korokke into the oil at a time, the oil's temperature will drop suddenly so you can't deep-fry well. So make sure you add one by one.

Wanna try something new😌? When people hear Kit Wanna try something new😌?

When people hear Kitsune don, it sounds weird because if you translate Kitsune, it simply means fox. But wait! Kitsune came from the look of the meal. 

There are some theories for why it is called ‘Kitsune’. One is Aburaage, deep-fried tofu pouch, is one of the fox’s favorite foods in folktales. The other is that Aburaage looks similar to a fox.

This meal is quite easy to make and tasty :) If you want to try a new recipe, this is a good one🤩
