- ★All-purpose flour (for coating)to taste
- ★Egg1
- ★Breadcrumbs (fine)to taste
Directions
75 min- 1
Thinly slice 1 onion and sauté in 60g of butter over low heat.
- 2
Once the onion becomes translucent, remove from heat, add 6 tbsp of all-purpose flour, and mix until no floury bits remain.
- 3
Return to heat over low to medium heat, and gradually add 500–550cc of milk while stirring continuously.
- 4
Once the mixture thickens, add 160g of imitation crab, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes.
- 5
Add more milk if desired to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- 6
Transfer to a tray, let cool slightly, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- 7
Once chilled, divide into 12 equal portions and shape each into an oval (torpedo shape).
- 8
Coat each piece in the ★ ingredients in order: flour → beaten egg → fine breadcrumbs.
- 9
Heat oil to medium temperature and fry the croquettes, turning only once, until golden and crispy.
- 10
Serve with a sauce made by mixing equal parts ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and Japanese-style sauce (okonomiyaki sauce) if desired. Enjoy!
Tips
Sauté the onion over low heat until sweet and golden — be careful not to burn it. Make sure to coat each croquette evenly with flour and egg before applying the breadcrumbs; using fine breadcrumbs gives the best crispy texture. If the mixture is too soft to shape, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up.
