  1. Oh yum! I was just looking at a recipe to make something similar using potato and it had mozzarella cheese in the center. Then bread it and fry it. Yours sound better though with the meat and onions!

  4. Hi, sorry for the late reply, just got back from vacation. I use Progresso Plain bread crumb, but the korokke was made at my friend's place. I don't remember exactly the name. It is a yellow container with a picture of a breaded drumstick. It is a common brand, it can be found in any supermarket. I do remember that the bread crumbs contain Italian seasonings and Parmesan. Hope it helps.
