Nagoya-style Miso Oden Quick & Easy
- 1/2 Daikon radish
- 4 Eggs
- 2 Chikuwa
- 1 Konnyaku
- 1 piece Kombu for dashi stock
- 600 ml Water
- 60 grams Red miso
- 30 grams Soft brown sugar
- 30 grams Mirin
- Make dashi stock in a large pot with water and kombu.
- *I used a dashi packet, but you can use dashi granules.
- Slice the daikon radish and parboil until you can easily poke with a toothpick.
- Use the water used to wash rice grains if it's available.
- It'll make the daikon nice and tender.
- Boil the eggs and peel the shells.
- Cut the chikuwa in half and pour hot water over to remove the excess oil.
- Cut the konnyaku and blanch quickly.
- Put the red miso, soft brown sugar, and mirin in a bowl together.
- Add the dashi stock from Step 1 little by little to mix.
- Add Step 4 into the pot from Step 1 and mix well.
- Add Steps 2 & 3 into the same pot and simmer over a low heat for about 30 minutes.
- Once the ingredients have absorbed the flavor of the soup, it is done.
- Note Break up the soup flavored eggs and put on top of rice.
- Pour over plenty of soup and this is called 'Red Chazuke'.
- The famous actor Shintaro Katsu used to love this.
- With the left over soup Cook minced chicken, Japanese leek and ginger with this soup to make 'Miso-flavored soboro.'
- Garnish over udon noodles or rice.
