- 0.25 cup Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 medium Daikon radish
- 1 block Konjac

- 4 pieces Boiled eggs
- 4 pieces Satsuma-age (fried fish cakes)
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Peel the daikon radish and cut into 1-inch thick rounds. Parboil in water for 10 minutes to remove the bitterness, drain, and set aside.
Cut the block of konjac into bite-sized pieces and boil in a separate pot for 15 minutes. Drain the konjac and set aside.
Cut the block of firm tofu into four large pieces.
Slice the carrot into rounds and the green onions into 2-inch pieces.
In a large pot, combine the dashi stock, light soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the daikon, konjac, and carrot to the pot. Simmer gently for 30 minutes.
Add the boiled eggs, chikuwa, satsuma-age, tofu, and mochi kinchaku into the pot. Simmer for another 30 minutes to allow all flavors to meld together.
Add the green onions for the last 5 minutes of cooking to retain some texture.
Once cooked, let the oden sit for an additional 10 minutes off the heat to allow the flavors to develop.
Serve the oden hot, ensuring each serving has a variety of ingredients.
