Okinawan Oden 3 - Oden Chibana

Treated again by one of my foreman's wife to her homemade oden. Last time it was for Okinawan Oden 2. Again it was delicious! She must put in a little extra ingredients now so she can give me a pretty good size serving each time. I always give the foreman (I'll refer to him or his wife as Chibana-san) - Pot Roast, Beer/Miso/Shoyu Chicken, Rainbow Drive-In Shoyu Chicken, the usual stuff. Latest was Chicken Alice's Wings.

My cooking of a lot comes from cooking more than enough for one person, because if I did just for one, it wouldn't taste the same. Especially for braised, stewed or marinated dishes. So I cook for 4~6 servings, eating one serving, saving another for the next day's lunch, but give the rest away.

But I love the oden - pork shank, konnyaku, tofu, konbu, shirataki, potato, carrot, daikon, egg and chikuwa. And the jiru is terrific! What could be any better!
