I bought these at a small local Asian grocery store today. Directions said to deep fry. Can I air fry them?

In general you could almost always air fry something you should deep fry, just don’t expect it to taste like it was cooked in copious amounts of fa and oil.
You can air fry these – spraying them with an oil spray might be helpful as well.

They don’t turn out great air frying, imo. I’ve tried a few times. The panko just ends up toasting like bread, so by the time it’s brown, it falls apart and doesn’t have the crispiness of コロッケ. Definitely coat with a little oil, imo.

Agree with what someone else said, you certainly can air fry them but the panko just toasts and burns rather than becoming a nice crispy outer layer.

Air frying something like this doesn’t end up well. You are better off frying things that have been breaded and frozen.

I’ve bought this brand (the pumpkin ones are the best imo) and I just shallow fry them. Thin coating of oil in a pan. You don’t want the pan too hot otherwise the outside will burn before the inside warms, but this way you don’t need to use a ton of oil and the end product is pretty great.

If you air fry, brush them with a little oil first.

Most freezer food has been fried once and then frozen which lends itself to air frying I don’t think that is the case for these so you would have to really get a good amount of oil on there to air fry them

i have airfried this exact product and it comes out… weird. not so bad that i don’t do it because from time to time the convenience factor and health factor outweigh my desire to heat a small body of oil but they definitely don’t come out as delicious. the outside dries out and hardens but doesn’t get golden brown. apart from that it’s great. also you should put it in the airfryer for a few minutes, and then spray with oil. if you spray with oil at the beginning the breading will tend to absorb a bit too much oil which defeats the whole purpose. you should try it nothing to lose except a couple weird looking korokke.

Shallow fry them. I’ve done it.

I tried it once and it was not nearly as good as I was hoping. These really benefit from a heavy amount of oil.

Yes, all the time, but as others have mentioned they come out a bit weird. I’ve actually had better luck with them in a toaster oven, doesn’t dry out as much, but it takes so much longer and it still tastes fine.
