Steps

1

Slice the chikuwa into rounds. Cut the green peppers in half, then slice into thin strips against the grain to allow the flavor to penetrate.
2

Put water (no oil) and mentsuyu in a pan and stir the ingredients from Step 1 over medium heat until the liquid evaporates.
3

Turn off the heat when the liquid is gone, then drizzle on some sesame oil and toss everything together. Once evenly combined, it's done. Top with ground sesame, if available.
4

Addendum: If you like green beans, slightly increase the amount of mentsuyu, and make with green peppers and green beans. It's a delightful dish with lots of greens.
