Three Chikuwa Recipes: Rice Paper Pizza, Avocado Salad, and Crispy Cheese Sticks

Tasty Japan published three creative chikuwa recipes on October 4, 2026, offering new ways to prepare the Japanese fish cake. The dishes include a rice paper pizza, an avocado salad, and a crispy fried cheese snack. The rice paper pizza layers shiso, cheese, mayonnaise, and sliced chikuwa between rice paper sheets, pan-fried until crispy. The avocado salad mixes chikuwa with mayonnaise, lemon juice, soy sauce, and bonito flakes for a quick, no-cook side dish. The crispy chikuwa cheese involves stuffing cheese sticks into chikuwa holes, coating them with spring roll wrappers, and deep-frying until golden.
