In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the flour to the onions and stir continuously for 2 minutes until the mixture forms a paste.
Slowly pour in the beef or chicken stock, whisking continuously to avoid lumps, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the shredded beef or chicken, parsley, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for another 2 minutes until well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Once chilled, shape the mixture into 8 cylindrical croquettes.
Prepare a breading station with three plates: one with rice flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Coat each kroket in rice flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and then roll it in panko breadcrumbs to cover completely. Repeat until all krokets are coated.
In a deep frying pan or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).
Carefully fry the krokets in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with mustard or your preferred dipping sauce.
