Low-Cal Aburaage Curry Croquettes
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 200 grams Ground pork
- 1/2 Onion
- 1 handful Frozen green peas
- 5 pieces Aburaage
- 1 Seasoned salt, pepper
- 3 leaves Cabbage
- 5 leaves Shiso leaves
- 3 Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tsp Curry powder (or to taste)
- Peel the potatoes, slice about 1 cm thick, put in a heatproof bowl covered with plastic wrap, and microwave until cooked through.
- Mash the potatoes while they are still hot using a fork.
- Chop the onion finely.
- Saute the ground meat in a non-stick frying pan.
- When the meat is cooked, add the onion and saute.
- Add the green peas and keep sauteing.
- Make sure to evaporate all the moisture in the pan at this stage.
- When everything is cooked through, season well with salt and pepper.
- Add the curry powder and saute.
- When the curry powder has been evenly dispersed, turn the heat off, add the mashed potatoes and mix to combine well.
- It should look like this!
- Let cool.
- While the filling is cooling, cut the aburaage in half.
- Roll over them with a chopstick.
- (This makes it easier to open them up.)
- Turn the aburaage inside out so that they'll have a croquette-like surface.
- When the filling has cooled, stuff it into the aburaage (but be careful not to over-fill!)
- Fold in each side as you would do when making inari sushi.
- Fold in the other side.
- Flatten with your hands to form into a croquette shape.
- (If you overfill the aburaage, it will tear here).
- Put the filled aburaage with the seam sides down.
- (I made 10.)
- Use a non-stick frying pan.
- Arrange the filled aburaage in with their seams down, without putting any oil in the pan.
- Brown well on both sides.
- When they're well browned, they are done.
- Arrange on plates with vegetables on the side and serve.
- (It was really hot when I made these, so I served them with light and fresh-tasting shredded cabbage and shiso leaves.)
