I really wanted to make this into a spiral pattern, but it was harder than I thought, so I made a change of plans.

The cheese is difficult to handle after warming up, so please use it quickly after taking it out of the fridge. Recipe by Akikofusuki-

Steps

1

Stick the cheese on top of the nori seaweed, and cut into 6 equal portions.
2

Stack up 4 slices of the nori seaweed and cheese for each portion, and cut in half lengthwise.
3

Cut the chikuwa in half as well, stuff the cheese inside, and cut in half once more diagonally.
4

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.
5

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!!"
6

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!!
