📖 Product Description

Enjoy Japanese-inspired flavours at home with KIBUN Frozen Mame Chikuwa Japanese Fish Cakes 120g.

Mame Chikuwa is a Japanese-style mini fish cake made from seasoned fish surimi, offering a savoury seafood flavour and a pleasantly springy texture.

The word mame refers to the small size of these chikuwa fish cakes, making them a convenient ingredient for soups, hot pots and everyday Japanese cooking.

This variety contains 41% fish surimi, made using fish from the Nemipterus genus, commonly known as threadfin bream.

The fish paste is combined with egg white, soybean ingredients and seasonings to create the characteristic texture and flavour of Japanese chikuwa.

These small fish cakes have a lightly browned exterior and a tender, springy interior.

Their compact size makes them particularly convenient for Japanese oden, where different ingredients are gently simmered together in a seasoned broth.

KIBUN Mame Chikuwa is ideal for Japanese oden, a comforting dish traditionally prepared with ingredients such as daikon radish, konjac, tofu and fish cakes.

When gently heated in dashi or oden broth, the chikuwa absorbs the surrounding flavours, making it a delicious addition to warming soups and hot pots.

It can also be added to udon noodle soups, miso soups, vegetable broths and other Japanese-inspired dishes.

For a different serving option, the fish cakes can be gently pan-fried or stir-fried with vegetables until thoroughly heated.

Each pack contains 120g of frozen Mame Chikuwa, making it a convenient choice for anyone who enjoys Japanese oden, hot pot dishes and traditional-style fish cakes.
