I take leftovers or make extras and mash them, but keep them on the
dry side. Then I form patties with wet fingers, dip in an egg wash
and coat heavily with panko. Then I wrap individually and freeze. To
serve all they need is about 2 minutes per side in a wok with enough
hot oil to cover. A perfect quick and easy side dish. You can add
cheese or whatever you want to the mixture but you need to keep them a
bit dry or they're impossible to form and they explode in the hot oil.
