Directions

Slice the Sagami Hanjiro Fushinari (cucumbers) lengthwise into four. Scrape off the seed pulp. *Slice into four to six strips, depending on the thickness.
Wrap the meat around the cucumbers (one to two slices)
Season with salt and pepper, and dust with flour. *This is to prevent the meat from separating.
Grease the frying pan and cook until the meat is cooked through.
