I made this dish as an appetizer to this year's Beaujolais nouveau. The hanpen fish cake was half-price as well!

You can use either easy melting type cheese or non-melting cheese. Without shiso leaves it is still tasty, but I like its flavour added to this dish. Please try it with shiso leaves. Recipe by Maa-a

Steps

1

Cut the hanpen into 8 and slice horizontally. Cut the cheese into 8. Cut the bacon in half.
2

Sandwich a slice of cheese between two slices of hanpen (for 8 sandwiches).
3

Place the step ① bacon lengthways and put a shiso leaf on top. Wrap Step ② with bacon and shiso. Make eight of these.
4

Heat a little vegetable oil (not listed) in a pan and place step ③ with the joint side down. Fry over low to medium heat.
5

After they have become golden brown, flip over and fry the other side until golden brown.
6

When both sides are golden brown, transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle black pepper. Serve with mayonnaise if you like! (I like it that way.)
7

You can also make it without shiso leaves.
