📖 Product Description

Enjoy traditional-style Japanese flavours at home with KIBUN Frozen Kotobuki Chikuwa Baked Fish Cakes 160g.

Kotobuki Chikuwa is a Japanese-style baked fish cake made from seasoned fish surimi, shaped into distinctive hollow tubes and heated to create a golden-brown exterior.

Chikuwa is a familiar ingredient in Japanese cooking, particularly in oden, hot pots, noodle soups and everyday home-style dishes.

This variety contains 44% fish surimi, giving it a savoury seafood flavour and a pleasantly springy texture.

The fish paste is made using fish from the Nemipterus genus, commonly known as threadfin bream.

The seasoned surimi is formed into the characteristic tubular shape associated with Japanese chikuwa. Its hollow centre makes it easy to cut into slices or sections for different dishes.

Unlike many fried Japanese fish cakes, chikuwa is traditionally grilled or baked, resulting in its recognisable appearance and texture.

KIBUN Kotobuki Chikuwa is particularly well suited to Japanese oden, a comforting simmered dish featuring ingredients such as daikon radish, konjac, boiled eggs and fish cakes cooked in a seasoned broth.

When gently simmered in dashi or oden broth, the chikuwa absorbs the surrounding flavours while retaining its distinctive texture.

It is also an excellent addition to Japanese hot pots, udon noodle soups, miso soups and vegetable broths.

For a different serving option, slice the chikuwa and gently pan-fry or stir-fry with vegetables until thoroughly heated.

The savoury flavour pairs well with Japanese soy sauce, mushrooms, cabbage, carrots and other everyday ingredients.

Each pack contains 5 pieces of frozen Kotobuki Chikuwa, with a total net weight of 160g.

A convenient choice for anyone who enjoys Japanese oden, hot pot dishes, udon noodles and traditional-style Japanese fish cakes.
