Striped Chikuwa Fishcake Sticks (Bento or Appetizer)
- 6 stick Chikuwa
- 4 slice Sliced cheese
- 1 the same size as the cheese Nori seaweed
- Stick the cheese on top of the nori seaweed, and cut into 6 equal portions.
- Stack up 4 slices of the nori seaweed and cheese for each portion, and cut in half lengthwise.
- Cut the chikuwa in half as well, stuff the cheese inside, and cut in half once more diagonally.
- If you are not able to stuff the cheese in well.
- Slicing open the tube of the chikuwa with a knife and sticking the nori seaweed and cheese inside is also okay.
- The chikuwa is firm enough to retain its round shape.
- Another Cookpad member told me that by "rolling the chikuwa with a rolling pin and stretching it vertically and horizontally, the chikuwa will become soft, and it will be easier to stick the cheese inside!!"
- Try sticking the nori seaweed and cheese from Step 2 into the freezer for about 10 minutes to harden before sticking it inside the chikuwa... Why not give it a try?
- Thinly spreading wasabi out on the nori seaweed in Step 1 is delicious!
