Steps

1

Cut the grilled chikuwa in half lengthwise. This time, I use mini-sized ones.
2

Line up the cut chikuwa and skewer with a toothpick. By doing this, they won't roll around.
3

Cook the chikuwa with a bit of oil in a frying pan over low heat until crispy.
4

Turn off the heat and add the yakitori sauce and water. Turn the heat back on and simmer to coat the chikuwa. They'll burn easily, so be careful!
5

Once cooked, season as you like with shichimi or sansho.
