At the end of the day, no matter how delicious restaurant foods are, you just can’t beat home cooking! Japanese Oden おでん and Nabemono 鍋物 are more than just home cooking comfort food, they are love in a pot!
Easy to make, not so easy to prepare. Lots chopping, long hour broth cooking. Kombu 昆布 (edible kelp) broth that Tomoko make for this Oden was delish! We’ve got Daikon (radish), fish cake, konnyaku こんにゃく (KonJac), chicken meat ball, tofu…endless goodness…
Nabemono 鍋物 is pretty much same concept as Oden. Lots nutritious vegetables (can’t see it? because they are all hidden at the bottom of this pot!), you can add union, carrots, kabocha カボチャ (Japanese squash) into this Tsuyu broth (like soy sauce), the continue to add any additional ingredients as you like such as shrimp, scallops! It warms your tummy and your heart!
Love me not? It’s definitely love in a pot!
