Step 1

Cut the cucumber to the length of the chikuwa fish cake. Peel cucumber skin in a stripe pattern.

Step 2

Cut the cucumber into thin sticks so that they will fit the chikuwa hole. If your cucumber has many seeds, remove them. Stuff the cucumber stick inside chikuwa.

Step 3

Cut each chikuwa cucumber in thirds or quarters. You can also cut diagonally for the look.
