2/  Chopped  the onions.
3/  Season  mince meat with soya sauce, sesame oil, corn flour, pepper. Mixed well.
4/  Heat butter in a frying pan and add onion, garlic, ginger, and fry until fragrant and garlic slightly brown.

Stir fry few minutes till the meat is half cook.

I pan fry in non stick pan with little oil, can eat without guilt and need not have to worry too much that my waistline might split.

6/  Add the smashed potatoes. I smashed half and left the other half in cubes form.
7/  Break the bean sprouts and add in to the potato and meat.  Mix into a consistent batter.
8/  Divide batter into eight portions and pat into circular shapes. Lightly cover in flour, dipped in egg and roll on the bread crumbs.

One spoon in the mouth..... this is an excellent appetizer.

You can squeeze some fresh lemon juice on the croquette to enhance the flavor.

It burn very fast, fry with low heat and don't get distracted by other activity while cooking this croquette.
