Steps

Boil water in a pot and cook the macaroni (30g) for 1 minute less than the package instructions.
🕒 00:54
In the same pot, boil the peeled shrimp (30g) until cooked through.
🕒 00:58
Drain the cooked macaroni and shrimp in a colander and pat them dry thoroughly.
🕒 01:00
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter (15g) and cake flour (15g). Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on 600W for 40 seconds.
🕒 01:03
After microwaving, mix well.
🕒 01:15
Gradually add the milk (100ml) while mixing to combine with the butter and flour.
🕒 01:23
Once combined, microwave on 600W for 1 minute and mix well. If the sauce is too thin, adjust the heating time until it reaches a thick, pourable consistency.
🕒 01:37
Add the cooked macaroni and shrimp to the white sauce, along with the granulated consommé (2/3 tsp) and a pinch of pepper. Mix well.
🕒 01:56
Line pudding cups (about 7cm in diameter) with plastic wrap and divide the gratin croquette mixture into 4 portions. You can also use ramekins or muffin cups.
🕒 02:08
Place the filled cups in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until completely frozen solid.
🕒 02:34
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg (1) and water (2 tbsp).
🕒 02:48
Gradually add the cake flour (4 tbsp), mixing well to create a smooth batter without lumps.
🕒 02:54
Remove the frozen gratin croquette mixture from the plastic wrap and dip it into the batter, letting any excess drip off.
🕒 03:12
Coat the croquette with panko breadcrumbs, then dip it back into the batter and coat with panko breadcrumbs again. For a crispier coating that holds its shape, double-dip and freeze between coatings.
🕒 03:23
Heat about 1cm of oil in a frying pan. Test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a piece of panko; it should sizzle immediately.
🕒 04:05
Carefully place the gratin croquettes in the hot oil and fry over medium-high heat until lightly golden brown on all sides.
🕒 04:17
Flip the croquettes and cook the other side until golden brown.
🕒 04:40
Remove the croquettes from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
🕒 04:52
Clean the frying pan and cut the dinner rolls (4) in half horizontally.
🕒 04:58
Place the cut sides of the dinner rolls down in the frying pan and toast them until lightly browned.
🕒 05:04
Spread mayonnaise in a striped pattern on the bottom half of each toasted dinner roll.
🕒 05:19
Top with shredded cabbage.
🕒 05:24
Place a fried gratin croquette on top of the cabbage.
🕒 05:30
Drizzle Okonomiyaki Sauce over the croquette and cover with the top half of the dinner roll. A thick sauce like tonkatsu or takoyaki sauce is recommended for a crispy texture.
🕒 05:37
Your easy Gratin Croquette Burger made with dinner rolls is complete!
