I added some variation to a recipe taught to me by my mother-in-law.

For a different tasty touch, try substituting shichimi togarashi (seven spice condiment) for the black pepper.

If the asparagus stalk is too thin, it may fall out of the chikuwa while frying. Select a thick asparagus stalk for best results. Recipe by Megurin

Steps

1

Parboil the asparagus or wrap in plastic wrap and microwave for about 20 to 30 seconds.
2

Cut the asparagus in half and stuff into the chikuwa. Even if the asparagus is thick, force it through.
3

Once the chikuwa are stuffed, slice into bite-sized pieces. (I first slice them in half, then diagonally in half again.)
4

Heat a pan, then add mayonnaise (I use a 5 cm dab). When the mayonnaise starts to dissolve, add the chikuwa and sauté.
5

When the chikuwa turns a nice golden brown, remove from the heat, season with pepper and soy sauce, and it's ready to serve.
6

If the asparagus is still tough, microwave for about 30 seconds.
