Vegetarian Korokke - Japanese Potato Croquettes
Korokke are Japanese Croquettes, most commonly made with meat and potatoes. This is a basic recipe, but other vegetables may be used. Vegetables like leafy greens or mushrooms with a very high water content should be cooked and have the excess moisture squeezed out before adding to the batter. Vegetarian burger crumbles or bacon-flavored tempeh like "fakin bakin" are both very good in this recipe.
