I'm excited to share a delightful recipe inspired by the beloved Oden Soup from the legendary anime One Piece. This hearty dish features a variety of ingredients simmered in a rich, savory broth. Just like the Straw Hat Pirates' journey, this Oden Soup promises an adventure for your taste buds. Each bite offers a tantalizing blend of sweetness, warmth, and depth.

Instructions:
Ingredients:
- 1 small daikon radish (about 1 pound)
- 1 packet konnyaku (9 oz)
- 1 packet oden set (assorted Japanese fish cakes and fish balls, about 27 oz)
- 1 packet deep-fried firm tofu cutlet (6.5 oz)
- 2 pieces aburaage (optional)
- 2 pieces Japanese rice cake (optional)
- 4 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 packet hanpen (4.6 oz)
- 4 pieces dried knotted kombu
- 6 cups dashi (Japanese soup stock)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sake
- 2 tbsp mirin
- Β½ tsp salt
Instructions:
- Peel and slice the daikon into 1-inch rounds. Score a cross on one side of each slice.
- Cut the konnyaku into triangle shapes and blanch them in boiling water for 3 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and briefly boil the oden set to remove excess oil.
- If making mochi kinchaku, blanch aburaage in boiling water for 15-30 seconds, then cut into pockets and stuff with small pieces of mochi.
- In a large pot, combine dashi, soy sauce, sake, mirin, and salt. Mix well.
- Add daikon, konnyaku, hard-boiled eggs, and hanpen to the pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.
- Cut larger fish cakes into smaller pieces for easier eating.
- After 20 minutes, add oden set, atsuage, and dried knotted kombu to the pot. Cook for 10 minutes.
- Add hanpen and mochi kinchaku (if using), and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Serve hot with karashi hot mustard on the side, if desired.
