Fancy Sandwichy

We have now come to the most exciting part of the tutorial: making sandwiches! Yay! It is no secret that we both love food and so do our guests. Well, without further ado, here is our simple sandwich recipe.

Ingredients:

Plain bread, banana, chocolate jam or peanut butter, chocolate rice.

Steps

1. If your bread still have skin, you may cut them or you can leave it according to your preference.

2. Cut your bread into half on opposite direction so you will get four breads with similar square size.

3. Now cut your banana diagonally. 

4. Spread the chocolate jam over your bread.

5. Next put the banana.

6. And lastly, sprinkle some chocolate rice.

For the other variation, you can just cut your bread into half once and stack one more bread on the top. And then wrap a doily paper around it and tie it with a ribbon. 

You can now enjoy your sandwich and probably, take a picture of it first if you’d love to. Bon appetite!

Yeey, cheers!

Favorite Cooking Channel

Everybody loves food, don't you? I love food too. And, i love making food. Though i am not good enough, i'm excited to do it. I learn cooking from my mom, cooking show on tv and most from youtube. Well, I've watched many recipe tutorials on youtube, from Western to Japanese. I started to watch since 2012, and now it has become my favorite videos on youtube haha. SO, I'm going to share my favorite cooking channel that i subscribe and watch (almost) everyday.

1. Cooking With Dog 

Cooking with dog is my first favorite cooking channel. You guys might see a cute dog in every video. His name is Francis. But, keep calm, the dog will not bark or doing something messy. He calmly sits next to Japanese Chef  whose real name is disclosed, so, just call her Oba-chan (aunty in Japanese ). And, he narrates the recipes step by step in English. How cute! Cooking with dog is the first cooking channel i subscribed. I've watched almost all of the videos. I love the way when Oba-chan cooks. She cooks cleanly, simple and easy to learn. This channel has started since 2007 and now it has more than 100 videos now. Let's check this channel every week, because a new video was uploaded every Friday! 

2. Honeysuckle Catering

Honeysuckle Catering was made by Dzung, a Vietnamese girl who lives in California. I love her video concept. It's feminine with suitable backsounds. It makes me like watching a cooking TV show. She cooks cleanly, simple and easy to learn too. Btw, not only recipes, but she also makes some lifestyle video like party, picnic, gift ideas and many more. Honeysuckle Catering also has blog (click here to visit the blog) for those who are prefer blog than videos. 

3. Eugenie Kitchen 

Through the name, you must be know who made this channel. Yes, a Korean named Eugenie. She studied French cooking in Paris. I love her kitchen so much, it's all white, so beautiful, right? Eugenie kitchen has so many cakes, desserts and no bakes no oven dessert recipes. I like no bakes no oven dessert recipes from her as it's easier to do haha. Anyway, she shares her recipes on blog too (click here to visit the blog). Let's check her new video every Tuesday and Thursday.

4. Kitchen Tigress

As a Chinese-Indonesian who speaks Teochew (Chinese dialect) and eats Teochew Cuisine, it's really difficult to find Teochew Cuisine recipes on youtube, SO, i'm very happy found this channel. Kitchen Tigress made by Singaporean. The foods from the channel might be not familiar to you, but do not hesitate to try it, it's delicious! Anyway, this channel is a little bit unique because it has no narrator, and I'm a little difficult to download the video because the subtitle is only from youtube. But, don't worry, Kitchen Tigress also shares the recipes on blog (click here to visit the blog).

5. Ochikeron

Ochikeron is another Japanese Cooking Channel in my favorite list. It was made by a beautiful Japanese girl named Ochi . She makes cute cake and food, like hello kitty bento, pinguin onigiri and many more. And, i found many cute cooking stuff in the video, and it makes me asdfghj ><! Besides Japanese dish and cake, she also shares some vegetarian food. Anyway, i found another unique things from this channel,  Ochi dances Hula (Hawaiian Dance) and she uploads her hula dance in youtube. Enjoy Ochikeron's new video every Tuesday and Friday. Read her recipes and hula dancing in her blog too (click here to visit the blog).

6. Allrecipes

Thought I'm Asian, i like western food, such as pizza, pasta, steak and many more. Allrecipes is not only a youtube channel, but it's a digital food brand. It has many western food and beverage, from easy to difficult recipes. It also has Allrecipes Magazine, but unfortunately it's not free :(. Check the recipes from Allrecipes on the website (click here to visit the website)

7. Koki ku TV

I think KokiKu (My chef) TV is a very nice youtube channel for Indonesian as the chefs speak in Bahasa haha. It's easier to Indonesian to learn the recipes. Koki ku means My Chef. You might find many Indonesian food recipes, but Asian and Western food are also uploaded. Kokiku TV has nice website (click here to visit the website) which shares about recipes, news and tips.  

The foods look delicious, don't they?  Let's try to make these food in weekends or holiday. Anyway, I hope you are NOT watching this at night because it will make you dying haha. Sometimes, i try to make the food after I watched it, i will share my food in another post. Also, I will share more about foods.

Yeey, Yelny!

Donut Day

I don't know why but when it comes to having treats, I always always crave for doughnuts. I love donut in any forms. I mean, why are you guys so good? 

Well, I knew that donut is one of the treat I can make by frying. I searched for the recipe on the internet and tried making one by myself. And I failed! Haha. So I convinced Yelny that she should teach me how to make donuts. And the surprising thing is, we can make it even in the dormitory!!! Yuhuuu!

It turns out that the ingredients are pretty simple! The recipe is adapted from Just Try & Taste blog with some changes. Please check out the original recipe here.

Easy Fried Doughnut

(for 20 small doughnuts)

Ingredients:

-1 sachet of instant yeast mix with 40 ml warm water until the bubble shows up. Set aside

-200 ml of milk (we mix a sachet of vanilla powder milk with 200 ml hot water and let it cool)

-1 egg

-350 gr multi-purpose flour

-50 gr sugar

-35 gr butter

-pinch of salt (optional)

-oil for cooking

Step by step:

1. First, prepare a big bowl to mix the ingredients (because we do not have any big bowl, we use the rice-cooker bowl ^^) On the bowl you can put the yeast, milk, egg, butter, salt, sugar and HALF of the flour then mix all the ingredients until it forms a dough. Then, you can add another half of the flour and knead the dough until it becomes smooth. 

2. Here is how the dough would look like. We mix them first with spoon and then knead the dough with our hands. The process did not take too long, probably around 20 minutes? Then, cover the dough with cloth or plastic (we don't have any clean cloth in dormitory on that time). Let the dough rise for about one hour.

3. Ta-da! As you may see, after an hour, the dough rises to twice its original size. 

4. Then, we can start dividing the dough into smaller parts and make the doughnut shape like this. If you would like to, you can wait for another 30 minutes or an hour so that the doughnut will rise even bigger. But if you are just too hungry and can't wait, I guarantee you that's totally fine.

5. While you are forming the doughnut shape, it might be a little sticky to your hand, so you can add some flours to the dough or to your hand. Now, you can also start boiling the oil in the frying pan.

6. Once the oil is hot enough, put in the doughnut. Wait until the color of the bottom side turns into brown, then flip it. Also fry this side until the color turns into brown. Then set it aside. It is better to set it on the top of tissue paper to remove any excess oil.

7. Hooray! Here is how the doughnuts look like after they are all fried. Well, they might not be that photogenic, but we are pretty proud of what we have made. *high-five*

Now, they look prettier, don't they? Haha, you can top it with any toppings that you like. Be it cheese, chocolate, strawberry, pineapple, whatever you like. Fun fact is, we made the doughnut just one day before the National Doughnut Day in USA. And we didn't even know there is a National Doughnut Day! 

So guys, from now on you do not have to be worry whenever you crave for doughnut because, hey, you can make it yourself! And also, the actual process doesn't take a lot of time except when you wait until the dough risen (in which you can spend by watching one episode of your favorite K-drama lol). And it is super fun to cook with your friends too. So, what are you waiting for? Let's go make some doughnuts now! 

Yeey, cheers!
