I packed these into my daughter's bento.
It'll thaw most of the way and be ready to use in the time it takes to finish bento preparations.

I used a 10 cm long chikuwa and cut it into fourths. I used 1/4 of a carrot cut down to 3 cm. I also used 3 cm of a cucumber.
I used mayonnaise to flavor and to lubricate the fillings.
For adults, you could use a wasabi mayo sauce, or ichimi spice and mayo sauce.
For children, you could drizzle with melted cheese. Recipe by Misuke mama chan

Steps

1

Cut the chikuwa at a diagonal to match the height of the bento box. Julienne the cucumber and carrots to fit in the chikuwa hole. See Hints.
2

Bundle up some carrot and cucumber together, dip the tips in a little mayonnaise, and pack into the chikuwa. If there are still any crevices in the chikuwa, add in more carrots or cucumber while keeping color coordination in mind.
3

Tap the top portion on top of a cutting board to adjust the lengths, and it's done.
