Up until a week ago, it had always been made for special occasions by Obaachan, my mother-in-law. I just assumed it was a labor-intensive, secret-recipe sort of thing. Until she gave us the ingredients for Christmas and we undertook its making on New Year's Day. Uh, nope. Suuuuuper easy to make. I can tell you this will be a regular in our menu rotation now! Woohoo!!!!
I realized there really is no exact recipe for this. As my journaling says, "Oden is a Japanese winter dish consisting of several ingredients such as boiled eggs, daikon radish, konnyaku and processed fish cakes stewed in a light, soy-flavored dashi broth." We started with an "oden set" which was a frozen package of various fish cakes and the base for the dashi broth. We added some water to the broth base and then we included in ours the fish cakes, plus sliced up another fish cake our kids love which looks like half a log that's white on the inside and hot pink on the outside, taro balls, enoki mushrooms, konnyaku noodles, sliced daikon radish, and hard-boiled egg. YUM!
I happened to hit an awesome New Year's sale on Cricut cartridges and pretty much purchased the Create a Critter cartridge entirely for this adorable ramen bowl!
I'm not usually one for the cutesy but that's just too stinkin' cute to pass up.
I used some StazOn ink to color that drywall tape you see...it starts out white. I love being able to alter the color of things!
