Crab Cream Croquette
I love any type of Japanese korokke (croquette), but kani kurimu korokke (crab cream croquette) is my favorite. You’ll bite through the crispy panko shell and end up in a creamy crab sauce heaven. Pair kani kurimu korokke with curry and you’ll lose your mind for bit… You can often find characters losing their minds in Anime over Crab Cream Croquettes.
This Crab cream croquette recipe is easy to make and it freezes well, so you can make this ahead of time and use as needed (just follow the steps before the deep frying part and individually wrap and freeze). I have a ton of these in my freezer ready to go to serve with cold beer or curry. They’re great for bentos too!
