Hello!
Today, I would like to share a cute and delicious recipe which I read from a Japanese magazine last February. I promised myself that when fava season comes, it’s time to make croquettes!
I just tweeked some parts that require the use of a microwave oven, cling wraps and instant flavoring powders.
In this blog, I want to make sure that every recipe is safe for you (and me) and our environment.
So, let’s dive in!
Here are the things you need…
fava beans- 75-100 g
potatoes- 200 g
salt- 2 pinches
dashi– 1 tbsp.
katsuo flakes- 1/2 tsp.
dried shrimps- 1 tbsp.
all purpose flour- 1-2 tbsp.
egg- 1 pc.
bread crumbs (panko)- 20-40 g
cooking oil- right amount for deep frying
Here is your prep guide…
- Peel your fresh fava beans. Set aside.
- Peel your potatoes and boil them until soft. Mash.
- Add salt, dashi, katsuo flakes, dried shrimps to your mashed potatoes. Mix well.
- Add in your fava beans and shape the mixture into cylindrical or log-like rolls.
- Sprinkle them with all purpose flour, dip in freshly beaten egg and roll them on bread crumbs.
- Deep fry until golden brown.
NOTES:
- To those who do not have access to fava beans, lima beans (patani) can be used as an alternative. Or any beans you can grab won’t be bad, I think.
- You can find katsuo flakes, dashi, panko and dried shrimps from Asian supermarkets. (I hope you can find one in your community.)
- This recipe makes 5-6 pieces of croquettes.
Enjoy!
If you have questions and/or comments, I’d be happy to receive them.
Till next recipe blog!
