A simple and easy to understand recipe video shows how to make Western-style Oden with Tomatoes and Mozzarella Cheese.
Here's a recipe that has a Western twist on oden. The flavor of tomatoes, oyster sauce, and the umami of granulated Japanese consomme soup stock melt into the soup, and the flavors soak into the potatoes and quail eggs, making it delicious. It also has mozzarella cheese, so please try it with a Western flavor that is a little different from the usual oden.

Tips for cooking

Coating mozzarella cheese with starch will make it a little harder to melt. Tomatoes and mozzarella cheese will melt if you overcook them, so make sure to heat them just before serving. Please use your favorite ingredients such as fish cakes or something similar. You can substitute boiled eggs for quail eggs.
