Kyo-style Mixed Vegetables Boiled (oden)
1.
Pleurotus eryngii is put into a non-oil pan for dry roasting to fully bring out its fragrance.
2.
Then put the shiitake mushrooms into the pot and roast them to produce the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms. (It should be noted that the dry roasting of the two kinds of mushrooms needs to be kept on a low fire for dry roasting, so that they can fully release their fragrance and do not affect the nutrition and appearance)
3.
Add kelp stock, burdock, big root, konjac and bring to a boil. (Note that if you don’t have Japanese roots, you must use fruit radishes. Ordinary radishes must be soaked in cold water and sugar for 2 minutes before they can be used here)
4.
Bring to a boil over medium to low heat.
5.
Pour into a saucepan, cover with a lid over low heat and simmer for 1 minute, then turn off the heat and set aside.
6.
Chop the shrimp into a puree with a knife, stir in the egg white, stir a little cornstarch and bonito powder to form the tendons. (Japanese shrimp balls are different from Hong Kong shrimp balls. Do not add pork, fatty pork and other seasonings)
7.
Pour the soup just cooked in the pot and bring it to a boil.
8.
Use a spoon to scoop up an appropriate amount of mixed shrimp paste to make shrimp balls.
9.
Put the shrimp balls into the boiling broth.
10.
Cook the shrimp balls and transfer them to the soup just made.
11.
Turn off the heat, add Japanese soy sauce to the broth of the boiled shrimp balls, stir well with mirin (the ratio of Japanese soy sauce to broth is 1:10, and mirin is added as you like).
12.
Do not turn on the fire, wait for 5 minutes and use the remaining temperature in the pot to bring out the fragrance of Japanese soy sauce.
13.
Then pour the adjusted stock sauce into the soup.
14.
Add the tuned potato powder water to thicken it in a circle (emphasize that cornstarch is cornstarch, while in Japan, potato powder is used for thickening).
15.
Keep stirring until the cornstarch water in the spoon becomes transparent and gel-like.
16.
The mixed vegetables can be put on the plate after cooking.
17.
Put carrot slices on the plate, scoop out the cooked vegetables, pour the soup, and put the sliced colored pepper rings to complete this Japanese-style mixed vegetable cooking (sweet peppers are green, green-yellow, red, deep Brown, you can choose which color to use).
