This is a hack recipe where simply adding chicken wings to classic oden makes it 100 times more delicious without any extra effort. There's no need to pre-boil the daikon or blanch the oil out of the fish cakes, so even lazy cooks can easily enjoy an authentic flavor.
Instructions
- Cut the upper part of the daikon radish into 2cm-thick pieces.
- Peel the cut daikon thickly, and score a cross-shaped cut into each piece to help the flavor soak in. If you're concerned about the pieces falling apart, bevel the edges.
- Sprinkle salt evenly over a tray, arrange the daikon on top, sprinkle another pinch of salt over it, and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Wash the potatoes well, remove the sprouts, and cut into quarters. If they're small, cutting in half is fine.
- Cut the chikuwa diagonally in half.
- Fish cakes nowadays are fried in good-quality oil, so removing excess oil isn't necessary. If it bothers you, you can still blanch them to remove the oil.
- Make diagonal cuts in 2 of the sausages, and leave the remaining 3 uncut so you can enjoy their texture.
- Prepare the chicken wings. Adding chicken wings lets the gelatin and umami dissolve into the broth, making the oden dramatically more delicious.
- Discard the water that has come out of the daikon after 10 minutes of salting, rinse it well once with water, and pat it dry thoroughly.
- Add the water, soy sauce, mirin, cooking sake, oyster sauce, Japanese granulated dashi stock, and kombu (if using) to a pot, and mix well.
- Once the seasonings are combined, add the daikon, potatoes, boiled eggs, sausages, chikuwa, onion tempura, satsuma age, and chicken wings to the pot.
- Cover with a lid and simmer slowly over low heat for 1 hour.
- After simmering for 1 hour, arrange the oden ingredients on a plate, add Japanese hot mustard to taste if desired, and it's done.
