Tonight's Menu: Oden (おでん)

fish cakes, boiled egg, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, spring onion, various broth ingredients, etc.

I don't know whether to call this winter rain or spring rain..☔️

Either way, oden is perfect for a rainy weekend evening.

I always used to simmer dried anchovies/sardines/shrimps, white radish and so on for a long time to make broth.

But dried anchovies for broth are ridiculously expensive these days.😮‍💨

So I simply used fish sauce, soy sauce, outer onion skins (I don't eat) and shiitake mushroom stems to make it simple. Yet, it lacks depth.😟

Cooking is dedication.
