It’s been a while since we shared our last Japanese Bento related content. So, here we are back again with cute Japanese recipes that you can use for Bento boxes or home parties. These recipes require minimal ingredients and do not require the precise measurements. We will be sharing one by one so, feel free to try and enjoy them!

On our first episode we will be making “The Fish Cake Gang.”

The Fish Cake Gang

Fish Cake is called "Chikuwa" in Japanese. So, let’s call them by their Japanese name!

We're going to make a Mohawk Chikuwa-kun and an Afro Chikuwa-kun, but if you're not familiar with Mohawk and Afro hair styles, googling them will definitely make the process more fun.

Ingredients

・Chikuwa (Japanese fish cake rolls)

・Okra

・Broccoli

・Black sesame seeds

・Mayonnaise

Let’s Cook!

1. Boil okra and broccoli with salt.

2. Cut the chikuwa in half and make a "V-shaped" cut that will make the mouth.

3. Insert the boiled okra and broccoli into the chikuwa, respectively (Cut off the tips of the okra beforehand.).

4. Dip a small amount of mayonnaise with a chopstick and attach black sesame seeds to create those cute little eyes.

And that’s all. It’s done!

We hope you enjoyed the cooking with FUJIOH. We hope to you see you again on our next episode.

Enjoy Bento Enjoy Cooking.
