Hi, everyone! I'm Masa! This time I'd like to share
a tasty Western-Wafu fusion dish!
It's (Japanese),
which is ebi cream croquette!
There are two kinds of croquettes,
one is I introduced before, using potatoes to make a filling.
This time I'll introduce a cream sauce filling!
The texture is quite different,
I'll also add prawns into the filling!
Together, they'll make a great combination!
It'll also be great to make a croquette with it!
It's really easy to make, but
you need to be aware of some steps, and you can successfully make a croquette!
Okay! Let's get started!
Make a cream sauce, 30g butter
Turn up to medium heat
Wait till the butter melts
30g flour
Well mixed
Cook till it's bubbling
Turn off the heat
300cc milk
If you pour in the milk while cooking, it'll cause lumps in it!
Stir immediately
Make sure the flour is dissolved
Watch closely, make sure there are no lumps at the bottom
Turn up to medium heat
Stir
Draw a ∞, it'll stir much more effectively
Flour is a starch, to prevent it burnt, make sure you keep stirring!
Cook till it's bubbling
Turn off the heat
30g pizza cheese
About 1/4 tsp salt
The amount you add depends on the saltiness of the cheese
Turn up to medium heat
Some oil in
About 12 peeled prawns
Some pepper
Cook till they turn red
2 tbsp white wine
Burn out the alcohol then turn off the heat
Take them out...
Don't wash it away!
Cut into small chunks
Put them into the sauce
Put the juices in
Add some salt and pepper to adjust the flavor
Pour it in a container
A small knob of butter
Brush it on top
Let it chill in iced water
Sorry I don't want to take it too high, so let me explain with the angle.
The sauce this time is quite dense,
because later on, I'll shape it in a filling, so it needs to be a dense sauce.
Right now, you need to let it chill,
it'll be much easier to make shape!
You can add in any ingredients you like, this time I added prawns,
crab meat is also a good ingredient to add!
You can also add corn, fresh or canned, they're all great!
Or snap peas, snow peas, asparagus, blanched and cut into small chunks.
Put them in, mix, then done!
On top of the sauce, I used butter and brushed a thin layer,
to prevent it dry out on top.
You can also use a kitchen foil and cover it on top.
So, let's set it aside and let it rest!
It's done when the sauce is chilled
This is a recipe for 6 croquettes
Draw some lines, it'll be easier to measure
You can also use a ice cream scoop!
Or you can use a big spoon
Oil
Brush some oil on your hands
Make a round flat shape
Oval, ball shape, they're all great!
Remember don't make it too thick or too big!
Crack 1 egg
1 tbsp water
Thin up the eggs to make a lighter coating
Now, we can coat the filling!
Here are some tips for you,
Use a tool when you prep the wet ingredients,
a spatula will be fine, just don't touch it directly.
You can use your hands when you prep dry ingredients and coat it with flour.
So, every time when you make an egg wash coating for some dishes,
like ebi fry,
or fried pork chop, make sure
don't prep wet and dry ingredients with your hands, or your station will be a mess!
Also, your hands will become bigger(lol), now let's coat the filling!
(left to right, filling, flour, egg wash, breadcrumbs)
Take out the filling with a spatula
Flour is dry; you can use your hands
You can use either plain flour or bread flour!
Pat off excess flour and make a thin layer
Egg wash is wet so use a spatula
Adjust the shape while coating the breadcrumbs
To prevent it stick, sprinkle some breadcrumbs in your container
The rest are the same
Prepare hot oil
Turn up to medium heat
Wait till it's 180˙C
Sprinkle some breadcrumbs, if they're bubbling, the temperature is on point!
!!Put in gently!!
Flip them gently to let them have the same color
Fry till they're golden
Take out the breadcrumbs, or they'll be burnt in the oil!
It'll be much safer to use a ladle
Eat them RIGHT AWAY OUO
Now some super tasty
ebi cream croquettes are done!
Awesome! We can finally eat!
This time let me sit down and enjoy them!
Make these croquettes really kills my back!
This is much better! Sit down and slowly enjoy the food!
You can serve it with tonkatsu sauce,
we'll usually serve it with this tonkatsu sauce. Dip and enjoy!
But it's already flavorful inside the filling,
so you don't need to serve it with the sauce, it's already super delicious!
With the shredded cabbage and the sauce, it's a dish you want to die for!
Let's see inside... The sauce and the prawns... Great!
Let's dig in!
Can you guys hear the crunchy sound?
It's really crispy!
The prawns and the sauce really match together!
With the seafood, you can taste the luxurious cream sauce and the sweet prawns.
The prawns are really crunchy, so the texture is really special!
