Asparagus-Stuffed Chikuwa Fish Paste Sticks

1. 1

   Parboil the asparagus or wrap in plastic wrap and microwave for about 20 to 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Cut the asparagus in half and stuff into the chikuwa.

3. 3

   Even if the asparagus is thick, force it through.

4. 4

   Once the chikuwa are stuffed, slice into bite-sized pieces.

5. 5

   (I first slice them in half, then diagonally in half again.)

6. 6

   Heat a pan, then add mayonnaise (I use a 5 cm dab).

7. 7

   When the mayonnaise starts to dissolve, add the chikuwa and saute.

8. 8

   When the chikuwa turns a nice golden brown, remove from the heat, season with pepper and soy sauce, and it's ready to serve.

9. 9

   If the asparagus is still tough, microwave for about 30 seconds.
