Ingredients

15 servings

1 Japanese or Persian cucumber ((or use thin pieces of blanched okra))
1 package chikuwa (fish cake) ((5 pieces per package))

Steps

Cut 1 Japanese or Persian cucumber to the length of the fish cakes from 1 package chikuwa (fish cake). Peel the cucumber skin in a striped pattern.
Cut the cucumber into thin sticks that will fit inside the hole of the chikuwa. If your cucumber has many seeds, remove them. Stuff the cucumber sticks inside the fish cake tubes. Tip: You can also use blanched, thin okra instead of cucumber sticks.
Cut each stuffed chikuwa in thirds or quarters. You can also cut it diagonally for a decorative look. Enjoy!
