- Our family's oden is filled with lots of ingredients, like this.
- Round the edges of the daikon radish and score it crosswise.
- Peel the potato skins and soak in water.
- Pour boiling water over the atsuage to drain excess oil.
- Score the konnyaku like this.
- Cut it however you would like and parboil.
- Boil the eggs.
- Skewer the octopus and sausages.
- Cut the chikuwa in half.
- In a large pot, add the water, sake, and the chicken.
- Turn on the heat.
- When it comes to a boil, remove the scum.
- Add the ingredients for the broth.
- I made the broth to be about 60% of the pot.
- Add all of the ingredients except the ones marked.
- It's filled to the brim.
- If the broth seems like it's going to overflow, transfer to a separate bowl.
- This time, I made about 15 ladles full.
- You can use it later.
- Cover lightly with aluminum foil as a lid and simmer for about 40 minutes.
- There are a lot of ingredients, so make sure the broth doesn't overflow and pay attention to the heat.
- While it's simmering, put the potatoes in a small plastic bag and microwave for about 5 minutes.
- Leave in the bag.
- When 40 minutes has passed, add the potatoes, sausage and leftover broth.
- Boil for another 30 minutes.
- Cover the potatoes with the hiraten.
- Turn off the heat and let the flavors penetrate.
- In our house, I make it in the morning and we eat it for dinner.
