Striped Chikuwa Fishcake Sticks (Bento or Appetizer)
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-

Cooking Instructions
- 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?
- 7
Thinly spreading wasabi out on the nori seaweed in Step 1 is delicious!!

Tarako Tamagoyaki for your Bento or Appetizer Tarako Tamagoyaki for your Bento or Appetizer
This dish was on an izakaya menu.I was a bit reluctant to try this but it turned out to be extremely delicious!I tried making many different variations with different seasonings but eventually it was best as is without anything extra so I uploaded it!Be absolutely sure to remove the membranes from the tarako!Don't overcook because they are best moist! Be generous with the tarako.The tarako has a naturally salty flavor so there's no need to season it, but you can add a little mayonnaise to the egg mixture and it will be delicious when cooked.

For an Appetizer or Bento Dish Wasabi & Cheese Chinese Cabbage Meat Rolls For an Appetizer or Bento Dish Wasabi & Cheese Chinese Cabbage Meat Rolls
I wanted to make the most out of Chinese cabbage that's often left over from hot pot made the night before, so I made this easy dish.Since the cheese is so rich, I think it's best to use a larger amount of wasabi for the bite. The amount of time it takes to cook the pork will depend on your microwave, so pay attention while it's cooking. Recipe by Necchan -
For Bentos and Drinking Appetizers: Hanpen Sandwiches For Bentos and Drinking Appetizers: Hanpen Sandwiches
I wanted to think up a bento item that used hanpen.When pan frying the hanpen sandwich, press down on it lightly with a spatula. Make sure the filling doesn't come out!The hanpen may curl up while cooking, but if you let it cool down with the curled up side on the bottom, it will be fine.You can also cook it in an oven on a heatproof dish. (The version in Step 6 was cooked that way.) For 1 hanpen cake worth. Recipe by Orange Day -
Rolled Chikuwa for your Bento Rolled Chikuwa for your Bento
I found it too much work to try to stuff cheese into the holes of chikuwa, so I started rolling them instead, and progressed to this stage. I've been making this for my family for 5 years - it's a long-running hit!The key is to adjust the way the cheese and shiso leaf are layered so that they don't get stacked up at the end of the roll. Although it's a bit extra work, score the chikuwa since those scores are really important in making the chikuwa easier to roll. Recipe by Karumichan -

For bentos for 2 people. Recipe by Gissele -
