Hybrid Potato Croquette with Pork (Onion reduction sauce) Recipe

Potato Croquette with Pork (Onion reduction sauce)

Here's a little experiment I made yesterday. Croquettes are French in orgin, but have many variations that exist in other cuisines now a days. They are usually meat/and or potatoes, battered and deep fried. I didn't really want to oil up my kitchen, so I put it in the oven instead. Thus, my experiment begins.

Here is what you'll need to make 5 large croquette balls. and 2 servings of pork.

For Croquette
1 large Russet Potato
1 large Scallion
1/8 cup Soy Milk
1/2 Medium Onion diced
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
Crushed unsalted top Crackers (enough to coat 5 large potato balls)\
1 egg
Flour (enough to coat potato balls)

Chinese claypot rice...without the claypot

Chinese pot rice is yummy! It's a popular dish in asian cuisine. You can put in any ingredients you want. Some staples in pot rice are chicken, pork, cha-siu, black bean, bok choy...the list goes on. You can essentially add anything you like. It is usually cooked in a clay or ceramic pot. I didn't have one handy, so just used a stainless steel pot. It still worked.
