'Chikuwa' is a tube-shape Japanese fishcake made from Surimi (fish paste). This is a dish of 'Chikuwa' that is stir-fried with a small amount of Oil and seasoned with Sugar and Soy Sauce. Super quick and easy dish that used to appear in my lunch box quite frequently. It is yummy with freshly cooked rice, but it is also great for drinking.
