I made this as a drinking appetizer. Recipe by Shiroi grape

This is a light and delicious drinking snack. All you have to do is slide a cucumber into chikuwa to create this visually appealing bento item or appetizer.Leaving the tip of the cucumber intact, moisten it and the chikuwa to make it easier to slide through. If you push it in too hard, it will tear, so be careful. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

Thinking that cucumber rolls wouldn't be quite satisfying enough, I tried making the rolls with cucumbers stuffed in flavored chikuwa.It's best to go a little sparingly with the sushi rice.Try spreading a touch of wasabi if you like. For 2 rolls. Recipe by Poron526

An easy-prep recipe using cucumber and chikuwa fishcake sticks. I love the combination of vinegar and ra-yu hot sesame oil.Use Ra-yu (hot sesame oil) to taste, but perhaps more is better? Recipe by mama deko

This variation on cucumber chikuwa is a great drinking snack and an easy way to fill up spaces in a bento. Fill it up with whatever you like ♡ It's delicious with mentaiko or burdock root ♪So that the cucumber doesn't tear the chikuwa, use a vegetable peeler to shave the cucumber.

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.

I tried wrapping chikuwa with cream cheese and shiso leaves, and it became a delicious little item! I've been addicted to these ever since. I enjoy them with wine or beer!Use as much cream cheese as you like. I use about 1 tablespoon per chikuwa. For 3 rolls. Recipe by Miruchan mama

I love marinated squid, but squid is quite expensive, so I cooked this recipe with inexpensive chikuwa.It's an easy recipe which doesn't even use a stove. Recipe by JUNSEI mama

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.
