Fried Beef Croquette
Japanese beef croquettes made from finely minced beef simmered with onion in a thick potato-thickened sauce, shaped into ovals, breaded with panko and deep fried until the crust turns golden and shatters to reveal a creamy savoury interior. Served with shredded cabbage and tangy-sweet tonkatsu sauce.
