♥ ONTBIJTKOEK / DUTCH SPICED CAKE ♥
By : Bake and Heat
Duration : 60 mins
portion : 10 medium sized cupcakes
Level : intermediate

    Ontbijtkoek literally means "breakfast cake" in Dutch. It is a type of spice cake or gingerbread that is similar to a coffee cake and made with very little fat. The cake is typically eaten in the Netherlands, Flanders, and Indonesia.
    The Dutch typically serve breakfast cake topped with butter. It may also be eaten with cheese or jam. When it is eaten as a snack, tea or coffee is typically served as well. It is sometimes also considered a dessert.
    A distinctive feature of ontbijtkoek is its lack of fat. The cake is made without any butter or oil, and usually without eggs. Milk is the only source of fat in this traditional breakfast cake.
Ontbijtkoek is usually made with rye flour, although there are also versions made with whole wheat flour. Cakes may contain a variety of spices, often including ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Sometimes cardamom and coriander are included as well. The cake contains salt and a leavening agent, such as baking powder, as is typical for most cakes. This type of breakfast cake also is made using less refined sweeteners. Brown sugar, molasses, honey, or a combination may be used. Palm sugar also is commonly used in Indonesian versions. ( Source from WISEGEEK ).
    In this recipe, i will make an Onbijtkoek cake which has been modified with the Indonesian taste. Onbijtkoek commonly found in Indonesia was made with butter and has a fluffier texture. I'm not very fond of spekkoek's strong aroma so i use cinnamon powder mixed with a few pinches of spekkoek powder (a mix of spices, such as cardamom, cinnamon, clove, mace and anise). My entire house smells so good while baking this cake. Usually i would always let my cakes cool down before i ate them, but i just couldn't wait till this wonderful cake was totally cooled off. Hmm, So soft and the hints of the spices in it were really nice and relaxing. I suggest you try this recipe : ) you won't regret it!

    Tteokbokki (떡볶이; also known as teokbokki, ddeokbokki, topokki, and dukboki) is a popular Korean snack food made from soft rice cake, fish cake and sweet red chili sauce.It is commonly purchased from street vendors or pojangmacha. Originally it was called tteok jjim (떡찜) and was a savory braised dish of sliced rice cake, meat, eggs, and seasoning. (source from wikipedia ).

   In this recipe, i will be using fresh store bought rice cakes/Garaetteok (가래떡 in Korean). In Jakarta it's not easy to find this fresh rice cake, they were only sold in Korean market. I bought this at Mugunghwa Supermarket,Karawaci,Tangerang. They were also sold at Lotte mart supermarkets. It tastes almost like mochi,but has more firm and chewy texture. This tteokbokki tastes spicy and sweet at the same time. It is very nice to eat them while it's still hot,especially in these cold rainy days ^^. Let's check the recipe!

Has a very deep dark red-purplish color, and it contains lots of vitamins in it. It helps to prevent and treat heart disease, cancer, and to help lower blood pressure. This is because the dragon fruit contains lycopene. Red dragon fruit also contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, C, calcium, protein and phosphorus. It also has a very soft and juicy texture and it helps me to feel full for a long time which really helps me a lot for late night cravings,especially while browsing delicious looking foods on instagram or while i was browsing for recipes.

Resep Earl grey chiffon cake (>‿◠)✌ Aromanya relaxing bgt!

♥ EARL GREY CHIFFON CAKE ♥
By : Bake and Heat
Duration : 60 mins
portion : 1 pan of cake + 2 small cup of cakes ( i use Taiwan's small chiffon cake mold )
Level : Intermediate 

     A chiffon cake is a very light cake made with vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and flavorings. It is a combination of both batter and foam type (sponge type) cakes.
Instead of the traditional cake ingredient butter, vegetable oil is used; but this is difficult to beat enough air into. Therefore chiffon cakes, like angel cakes and other foam cakes, achieve a fluffy texture by beating egg whites until stiff and folding them into the cake batter before baking. Its aeration properties rely on both the quality of the meringue and the chemical leaveners. Its oil-based batter is initially blended before folding into the meringue.

 ( Chiffon cake will taste&smells better after being chilled overnight/ more than 8 hours in the chiller).

Resep Nasi uduk! super wangi dan legit ٩(^◡^ )♥

♥ NASI UDUK/COCONUT RICE ♥
By : Bake and Heat
Duration : 180 mins
portion : 5 serving
Level : Intermediate 

      Nasi uduk is an Indonesian style steamed rice cooked in coconut milk dish originally from Jakarta,which can be widely found across the country. ( In Malaysia they also have a similar type of rice which is called as 'Nasi lemak'). 

     Nasi uduk literally means "mixed rice" in Betawi dialect, related with Indonesian term aduk ("mix"). The name describes the dish preparation itself which requires more ingredients than common steamed rice cooking and also varieties of additional side dishes.

    Nasi uduk is made by cooking rice soaked in coconut milk instead of water, along with clove, cassia bark, and lemongrass to add aroma. Sometimes knotted pandan leaves are thrown into the rice while steaming to give it more fragrance. The coconut milk and spices gave oily rich tastes to the cooked rice. The bawang goreng (fried shallots) sprinkled on the top of the rice prior to serving. Assortments of dishes are usually served as side dishes. The pre-packed nasi uduk usually wrapped inside banana leaf. ( Source from Wikipedia).

      "The spice mixture may vary among regions, but usually it consists of a combination of ground shallot, garlic, Indian bay leaves, turmeric, lemongrass, tamarind juice, candlenut, galangal, salt and sugar. The chicken pieces are soaked and marinated in spice mixture for some time prior to frying, in order for the chicken to absorb the spices. The chicken is then deep fried in an ample amount of hot coconut oil. Ayam goreng is usually served with steamed rice, sambal terasi (chili with shrimp paste) or sambal kecap (sliced chili and shallot in sweet soy sauce) as a dipping sauce or condiment and slices of cucumber and tomato for garnish. Fried tempeh and tofu might be added as side dishes." source from Wikipedia

     There are many variants of fried chicken in Indonesia. But one of the most popular is Ayam kremes (also my favourite). In Indonesian, Ayam means chicken and kremes means crunch. Ayam kremes is a traditional Indonesian style Fried chicken served with crispy granules from the left-over of the chicken stocks and spices (from boiling the chicken),mixed with water, flour and egg, then deep fried in hot oil. Usually, Ayam kremes is served with 'nasi uduk' ( recipe here ) and 'sambal terasi' (chilli sauce with shrimp paste) as it's compliments. And most Indonesian always love to enjoy this meal with a cup of tea ( either iced or hot, either sweet or plain ).

                       (Japanese stir-fried udon served with katsuoboshi & aonori )

     I have been writing some posts about Indonesian food and i think why not i change a little atmosphere by making a post about Japanese stir-fried udon (yakiudon) with the noodles made from scratch.
    You can easily find udon noodles in almost any grocery store in Jakarta now. But the thing that makes cooking a little more challenging is how you can make everything from scratch. How you can transform wheat flour ,salt and water into a delicious chewy noodles that is so tender and fresh. No whitening or any unwanted chemical substances, and most of all ,It is preservatives-free. 
      This homemade noodles has a slightly different texture with the one bought in stores. It has a more chewy texture , and the color is a bit yellowish. Not as pale and white as those store bought udon. And you can adjust the thickness of the noodles yourself. It's a bit time consuming but once you have made it, you will know it is worth it. Try it yourself, Here are the recipes :)
