Tropical Storm Teriyaki Chicken
Jaccard tenderized and marinated in teriyaki sauce for six hours
Grilled one side to get some char on them and not overcook once in the skillet.

Korokke, Fried Potato Croquettes
Boiled Russet potatoes, drain and return to pot over med heat to dry them out, and then mash them.
Brown some ground beef, saute some onion, combine and add to mash, season to taste with salt, pepper and maybe a little garlic.
Form into patties and chill.
Dredge patties in flour, egg and Panko.
Chill to set the Panko.
Deep fry at 350° till a deep golden brown, it's goes fast, just a few minutes.
Top with, Tonkatsu, Tare or Yum Yum sauce.

Looks great. I might have to put the Korokke, Fried Potato Croquettes and Sunomono, Cucumber Salad on the menu. Will pass on the delious looking chicken , not a fan of sweet sauce or glaze. Maybe a Miso Marinated Flank Steak instead.

Point and like
 
Awesome spread. I'll be doing the chicken and the potato dish. Though I did have to Google "Jaccard tenderizer"!
 
Now that's what I call a damn delicious looking feedbag.

Thanks for posting
Point for sure

Thank you.
When you make the Korokke be sure to well season the mash and or mince mix, you want it nice and savory.
If you don't like sweet skip the Tonkatsu sauce too, maybe a Tare if not too sweet.
 
Oh My!!
A lot of good looking stuff, right there!!
And ever since I had the best Teriyaki Glaze in my life, 50 years ago, in Honolulu, I've been trying to match it. Still haven't gotten there yet.
Nice Work, John!!
Like.
