Simple Chikuwa with Mustard Dressing

I made a dish with some chikuwa and an assortment of sprouts I had in the fridge, and it turned out to be one delicious dish.
You can use pea shoots, daikon shoots, or even potherb mustard (mizuna) in place of the assorted young sprouts. In order to keep the crunchy texture, make sure not to over-boil (I blanched in 10 second intervals). The chikuwa will become softer if placed in hot water, and will soak up the seasoning better.

One with Japanese mustard greens (mizuna); and one with cucumber, red leaf lettuce and tomato.35 years ago in Japan, I was introduced to the Japanese seaweed salad(Kaisou Sarada in Japanese) and fell in love with this dish.
