Chikuwa with Wasabi and Cream Cheese
I was looking for a potential lunch box dish in the fridge and found chikuwa. I tried this with wasabi and it turned into quite an adult taste!
Depending on the amount of wasabi you use, this recipe will change from a lunch box or appetizer to a game of wasabi roulette. So please be careful when you mix the wasabi! Add it little by little as you taste.
I tried different combinations such as cream cheese & gochujang and mustard. But the wasabi combination is the best. Recipe by MidnightR

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Boil water in a small sauce pan. (If the chikuwa is fresh, you can skip this step.) Meanwhile, slice the chikuwa into half lengthwise. (Oops, the slices in this picture are not so good...)
- 2
Blanch the chikuwa for about 20 seconds. The taste will disappear if you boil for too long.
- 3
Mix two blocks of cream cheese and wasabi well. If you don’t mix it evenly, you won't know which parts of the dish are hot or not!
- 4
The stuffing in this picture is also not the best, but don’t worry! Just eat as soon as possible and nobody will realize!

Crispy & Creamy Double Cheese Chikuwa Crispy & Creamy Double Cheese Chikuwa
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 -
