Japanese-style mixed vegetables cooked in Beijing
Yutian/: Kanto cooking, Kanto cooking
Kanto cooking is the name given to this dish by Kansai people.
Usually ingredients include boiled eggs, radishes, konjac, bamboo wheels, etc. These ingredients are all boiled in broth.
It can be used as a rice dish or eaten as a snack.
The methods of making Oden cooking vary in different places in Kanto. However, unlike ordinary pot dishes, Oden cooking is easy to make, and the ingredients can be put into the soup at any time. Therefore, this dish is especially popular in winter. In Japan, Oto cooking can be bought and eaten at convenience stores or roadside stalls.
In recent years, Oden cooking has also become more popular in Hong Kong. It can be easily purchased in roadside convenience stores and food shopping districts. The taste and ingredients have also changed greatly from authentic Oden cooking.
