Favorite Oden Ingredients? ð¢
It's getting cold and the season for oden ð¢ has arrived ð€€ My family had homemade oden today, made from scratch with our own broth âšïž What ingredients do you all like? ð€ Store-bought broth is delicious, of course, but making oden broth at home with your own seasonings is fun because of the customization aspect âºâšïž Preferences might vary by region, but I tried to include what I consider the top 10 ingredients ð¥ If you like anything else, please let me know in the comments ð By the way, tonight's oden ð¢ included lots of daikon radish, eggs, beef tendon (achilles), chikuwa, thick fried tofu, ito konnyaku, and sausages ð€£ If I had to pick just one, I'd probably go with daikon radish, though it's a tough choice~ Today's was super tender and perfectly soaked in broth, it was the best ðïž It's also great that prices have been going down lately âšïž

I love daikon radish! It's delicious when it soaks up the dashi broth! Also, in my region, 'hanpen' refers to fried fish cake! (I only recently found this out...) I grew up not knowing what white hanpen was! I also like chikuwa and mochikinshaku! I eat them with miso, so drinking the broth mixed with dashi and miso at the end is the best! Also... what is Achilles?

One vote for daikon radish! But beef tendon and potatoes, octopus, konjac (black triangle), thick fried tofu, and fish cakes are also hard to pass up ð€ð¢ð I'm so torn~

I voted for radish. If it's delicious, that's the best. What is Achilles? Is it a part of chicken or pork, like eating Achilles tendon? Also, eggs and konjac.

I voted for daikon radish, but boiled eggs and konjac are also hard to pass up. In my house, we also add potatoes and white fish cake. Ganmodoki and Satsuma-age are delicious too, right?

Hanpenâ£ïžHanpenðHanpenð Of course it's hanpenâšI love it so muchâŒïžâšâš I love its fluffy, chewy, and melt-in-your-mouth texture (ïŸ)ïŒÏïŒ(ãŸ)ïŸïŸïŸïŸðð By the way, in Shizuoka Prefecture, there's "kurohanpen," which is a flat, black fish cake made from ground fish paste! It's a variant of white hanpen. I don't like that one... that's not hanpen...(T^T)ðŠ. I'm on the fluffy hanpen side ('Ï' )/âã (Sorry Shizuoka residents ððŠ) Addendum (â») There was an earthquake in your area. I hope you are all safe. Please stay safe afterwards.

I put them in mochi kinchaku, but I also really love the processed food called 'ganmo'! It's soft and has something like seaweed inside, I wonder if it differs by region? I've never heard of Achilles as an ingredient before! My family often put chicken in our oden~

I vote for daikon too. It's the best when the broth soaks in and the umami spreads in your mouth.

I voted for Hanpen, but I actually like putting Satsuma-age (fried fish cake) in Oden. I like Satsuma-age with vegetables and plain Satsuma-age too!

I'm really struggling, but I guess it's radish~ I could pick my top 3 right away, but it's tough to choose just one...
