Introduction
A flavorful salad made with chikuwa (fish cake) and cucumber that can be whipped up quickly with simple ingredients. The richness of the tuna, the Japanese-style flavor of bonito flakes and ground sesame seeds, and the secret addition of miso create a deep, complex taste.
Step 1
Boil water in a pot, add salt (1/2 teaspoon), add the eggs, and boil for 8 minutes. Once boiled, immediately transfer to an ice water bath and cool for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Thinly slice the cucumber, sprinkle with salt, rub gently, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Cut the chikuwa into 1cm diagonal slices. Thoroughly drain the oil and liquid from the canned tuna.
Step 4
Peel the chilled boiled eggs and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
Quickly rinse the salted cucumbers with water, then squeeze firmly by hand to remove the moisture.

Important Notes
Squeezing the moisture out of the cucumbers is the secret to ensuring the salad doesn't become watery over time. 💡
Adding a small amount of miso to the seasoning enhances the richness and makes it delicious. ✨
Since boiled eggs can break easily, mix them gently with the other ingredients first, then carefully fold in the seasonings at the end. ⚠️
