In a soy-flavored dashi broth, a variety of ingredients, including fish cakes, tofu, daikon, and eggs, are simmered to create the renowned Japanese winter stew known as oden. It is a communal meal that is traditionally consumed from fall to spring and is served in a donabe clay pot. Indulge in warm, delicious, and utterly delightful bites as each ingredient soaks up the umami-rich broth.
