Oden ( Jap. おでん , including: 御田 ) is a Japanese dish consisting of several ingredients such as boiled eggs , daikon (radish), konnyaku and Chikuwa there and in dashi broth with Konbu or Katsuobushi is cooked.
Karashi can be added as a seasoning. In Nagoya , miso is used as a dip sauce and the dish is also called kantō ni ( 関 東 煮 , dt. " Kantō- cooked") because oden comes from the Kantō region. Oden is also known in Kansai under the rare expression Kantō daki ( 関 東 炊 き , "Kantō-cooked").
Oden originally comes from Misodengaku , shortened Dengaku : Konnyaku or Tōfu was cooked and consumed with miso. Later the ingredients were cooked in dashi instead of miso and grew in popularity.
Unlike most stew dishes, ingredients can be added at any time and left in the dashi for a long time. This made oden a popular dish for winter in Japanese convenience shops and is also offered by vans. There are many possible variations and local varieties. Oden is offered with dashi from 50 yen per cooked ingredient.
