Cylindrical ''korokke'' are also served; they more closely resemble the French version, where seafood (prawns or crab meat) or chicken in white sauce (''[[ragout]]'') is cooled down to make it harden before the croquette is breaded and deep-fried. When it is served hot, the inside melts. This version is called "cream ''korokke''" (クリームコロッケ) to distinguish it from the potato-based variety. It is often served with no sauce or tomato sauce. Unlike its French cousin, croquettes made mainly of meat are not called ''korokke'' in [[Japan]]. They are called ''[[menchi katsu]]'' (メンチカツ), short for minced meat cutlets.

The most common type is deep-fried rolls stuffed with ''[[japchae]]'' (잡채) ingredients or [[chicken curry]] and mashed potato with vegetable salad. G''orokeGoroke'' is sometimes filled with ''[[kimchi]]'', pork, and ''[[bulgogi]]'' ingredients. Many Korean stores advertise the ''goroke'' as a French product and they are sold in most European-style bread stores in South Korea.
