About Chikuwa
Chikuwa is a versatile Japanese fish cake made from a blend of white fish paste (such as pollock or cod), flour, salt, sugar, and seasonings that is wrapped around a bamboo stick and grilled or steamed to achieve its signature tubular shape. Common in Japanese cuisine, chikuwa is enjoyed in soups, stews like oden, or as a snack. It is high in protein due to the fish content and relatively low in fat, making it a lean source of energy. However, chikuwa can be high in sodium due to added seasonings and preservatives, so moderation is advised. With a pleasant chewiness and mild taste, it is adaptable to various dishes, bringing both nutrition and unique texture to meals. Its simplicity and portability also make it a convenient option for busy lifestyles, offering a balance between flavor and function in Japanese food culture.
