• 1 medium carrot
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 tablespoon bonito flakes (katsuobushi)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the daikon radish and cut it into 1-inch thick rounds. Make shallow cross cuts on one side of each round to help them absorb flavors.

Step 2

Peel and cut the carrots into slices of similar thickness to the daikon.

Slice the konjac into triangles and boil it in water for about 5 minutes to remove any odor. Drain and set aside.

In a large pot, combine the dashi stock, gluten-free soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and bonito flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the daikon, carrots, potatoes, and konjac to the pot. Simmer for 30 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 8

Add the boiled eggs, fish cakes, and tofu blocks to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 60 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce or sugar for balance.

Once everything is tender and well-flavored, remove from heat.

Step 11

Serve the oden hot, ensuring a variety of ingredients are included in each serving, accompanied by some of the delicious broth.
