Oden – Japanese Winter Vegetables Recipe
When I am in Japan in the fall or winter, I often go to a convenience store for Oden. Oden is a very simple dish consisting of vegetables, eggs, ‘konyaku‘, cooked in a light soy based or kombu based broth. I’ve added some garlic and ginger to mine to give it a bit of a twist.
