"Oden" loved by men and women of all ages
It's such an oden, but if you make it at home, you can't eat it and it's left over, or if you always eat it the same way (well, you usually eat it as it is), you'll get tired of it.
Therefore, I would like to propose a one-time arrangement of sprinkling cheese on oden and baking it in the oven ! You can see a different side of oden in just 5 minutes, so it is recommended when you have extra oden or when you feel a rut in the taste.
The surplus oden
Arranged in a slightly Western style
The procedure is very simple. Simply put the oden "seed" in a bakeware (a shallow dish like a gratin dish may be better), sprinkle as much cheese as you like, and bake in an oven toaster. It is enough to soak the oden soup in about one-third of the ingredients.
Sprinkle plenty of cheese and go to the oven
When the cheese melts and turns brown, it's ready to eat
Creamy cheese adds richness and mellowness to the light but soup stock. Let's call it a synergistic effect created by the encounter between Japanese umami and Western umami . And the more the soup is soaked, the tighter the scrum is formed with the cheese to increase the umami, and the richer the taste is like "Japanese gratin".
The essential ingredients for cheese oden are ...
For example, Chikuwabu. As it is made by kneading flour, it plays a huge macaroni -like role. The shape with holes is like macaroni. The chewy texture of chikuwabu and the melting texture of cheese go well together.
You see, it's like macaroni
In addition, the daikon radish with soup stock has excellent compatibility with cheese. The soup stock that overflows at the moment of chewing and the thick cheese complement each other.
It's a surprising combination, but it's really delicious
Hanpen is also delicious. The surface with plenty of cheese is crispy and fragrant, and when you bite into its elastic body, it has a marshmallow-like mouthfeel. By the way, it used to be popular to put cheese in hanpen and bake or fried it. From that time on, the good compatibility between cheese and hanpen had already been promised.
Tangled with soft-boiled cheese
In addition to this, I tried it with kneaded products such as chikuwa, eggs, and meatballs, and all of them were delicious. When you think about it, there are many oden seeds that go well with cheese. This may have been decided from the beginning.
It only takes 5 minutes. The taste really changes, so give it a try!
