Crispy & Creamy Double Cheese Chikuwa

Name: Crispy & Creamy Double Cheese Chikuwa
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 Chikuwa; 3 slice Sliced cheese

These double cheese chikuwa make fantastic snacks and side dishes. I thought they'd be even more delicious than regular cheese chikuwa if I added a crispy layer of cheese on the outside too. .

You don't need to oil the pan as the oil from the cheese will be sufficient. When the bottom of the cheese starts to crisp, it'll be easy to unstick so don't interfere with the cooking until that point. Recipe by AyakoOOOOO

Steps

1

Take one slice of cheese and cut it in half. Fold the halves into long, thin sticks and stuff into the middle of the chikuwa. (You can fill 2 chikuwa with 1 slice of cheese.)
2

Heat up a frying pan, or tamagoyaki pan, and place a whole slice of cheese in the middle. Then put one cheese-filled chikuwa on top.
3

Cook the cheese until it's bubbling and starting to brown and crisp. When crispy, the cheese will come away easily from the bottom of the pan. Roll the chikuwa in the cheese as if you were making tamagoyaki.
4

They should look like this when rolled. Cook the second double cheese chikuwa in the same way.
5

Here's a cross-section. The cheese in the middle is so melty.

I recommend serving these double cheese chikuwa as a snack or side dish.
