Start by making the dashi stock: Rinse the konbu under cold water to remove any excess salt. Place the konbu and water in a pot and let it soak for about 20 minutes.
Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Just before it begins to boil, remove the konbu.
Add the bonito flakes to the pot. Let them simmer for about 5 minutes, then strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a large pot, discarding the bonito flakes. This will be your dashi stock.
Peel the daikon and cut it into thick slices (about 1 inch thick). Parboil the daikon slices in a separate pot for about 10 minutes to remove any bitterness. Drain and set aside.
Rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water and boil them for 2-3 minutes to remove any odor. Drain and set aside.
To the dashi stock, add the soy sauce, sugar-free mirin, and salt. Bring the stock back to a gentle simmer.
Add the parboiled daikon slices, keto-friendly fish cakes, hard-boiled eggs, and shirataki noodles into the stock. Simmer gently for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.
Check and adjust the seasoning, adding more soy sauce or salt according to your taste.
Serve the Oden warm in bowls, with some yellow mustard on the side for dipping.
