Cheesy Chikuwa Fried Isobe-Style

I added my children's favorite cheese to their favorite chikuwa, and turned it into Isobe Age.
You can eat this as-is since you add salt to the batter.
The cheese will melt and leak out if you over-fry this, so do it quickly. About a minute a minute and a half should be sufficient.
These fry up roundly, so it is easy for kids to eat. Recipe by Erueru286

My mom used to make this for me when I was a kid. I used to ask for these in my bento every day. Now that I'm an adult, I enjoy them now with alcohol. My friend's twins, who are usually in good terms, fight over these and would even eat them if they fell on the floor. That's how good they are.I like spicy mayonnaise, so I usually have it with these fish sticks, but you can use normal mayonnaise, spicy cod roe, or wasabi. The bread crumbs are optional. Use egg instead of bread crumbs to make piccata. Recipe by food town cookpad.japan -

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 cookpad.japan -
