Korokke (croquette in French)

Today, I would like to talk about Japanese deep fried dish called "KOROKKE".

Korokke is related to French dish called "croquette". 

Korokke is popular among Japanese kids because its sweet, and soft.

Japanese stated to eat korokket in early 19oos. 

My friend told me that korokke is popular in South Korea. They sell it in bakeries. 

Korokke is made by mushed potatoes with chopped meat (beef) or seafood, such as, crab, shrimp, etc.

Some people like eat it with only potatoes and vegetables. 

It rolled in wheat flour, egg, and breadcrums and deeply fried with oil until brown on the outside. People eat Korokke with sweet sauce and sliced cabbage. 

I love crab my mom cooked crab korokke very much because it is very soft, creamy, and

sweet. It perfectly match with fresh sliced cabbage and sauce. 

Try that out tonight!!!!

Nikujaga (Meat-Potato)

I would like to talk about Japanese food "NIKUJAGA" today.

Nikujaga means "meat-potato" in English. Yes, it is basically cooked from 

beef and potatoes. 

Japanese people use sliced of beef or pork, potatoes, onion, carrot, and sometimes konnyaku with sweetened soy sauce. 

I can say no one does not know Nikujaga in Japan.

It is almost Traditional home Japanese food. 

Nikujaga came from chefs of Japanese navy in the late 19th century. 

It is similar with beef stewed served in British Royal Navy.

Nikujaga was very famous among those people a long time ago because of

good nutritional value and the ease to cook.

I love Nikujaga since I was child because my mother often cooks it with rice and miso soup 

during our dinner time. Whenever I eat Nikujaya at outside of my home, It reminds me my mother.

Lets try Nikujaga Tonight!!!
