Hello friends in Vegan community, Today I will share a nostalgic recipe for one of the traditional Indonesian dishes in my village, called onde onde banana cake. When I was in elementary school, every day I always bought this banana onde onde cake snack, I liked the sweet and slightly sticky taste, when I bit into it there would be a sweet banana inside, I miss the taste of this banana onde onde cake.
These days I very rarely find this traditional onde onde banana cake snack, I have to make it myself if I want to eat banana onde onde cake. Today's children prefer burgers, pizza, sponge cake and other modern snacks, children are less familiar with traditional cake snacks, which is why children don't like them. Children should be introduced to traditional snacks, these traditional snacks are no less delicious than other modern snacks.
The main ingredients for making banana onde onde are white glutinous flour to make the skin, bananas to fill the inside and liquid sugar to coat the outside of the skin. The sweet taste of banana onde onde is loved by children. Coincidentally this morning when I went to the garden, I found a bunch of ripe bananas on a tree, because they ripen on a tree, the taste of this banana is very sweet, this banana is suitable for filling onde onde cakes. Some of the ripe bananas had been eaten by my birds and chickens, luckily I could still find some bananas that were still intact.
The ingredients
The bananas I use are lelet tandan bananas, these bananas are usually used to make compote, they taste sweet and fragrant. Friends, you can use other types of bananas, the most important thing is that they have to be ripe bananas.
I used a glass to measure the flour and sugar, because my balance was out of order.
The ingredients I use to make banana onde onde cake are :
5 ripe bananas (I used lelet tandan banana)
2 glasses of white glutinous flour
1 glasses of wheat flour
1/2 glasses of sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
400 mL water
300 mL cooking oil
Preparation
1.Mix wheat flour with white glutinous flour.
2.Add salt to flour, stir so that the salt is mixed evenly and doesn't clump in one place.
3.Add water little by little until the flour forms a smooth, non-sticky dough.If the dough is too sticky or has too much water, add flour little by little to form a dough that is not sticky.
4.Let the dough sit for a while.
5.Peel the banana skin.
6.Cut the banana lengthwise into two parts. Match the shape of the banana pieces to the shape of the onde onde cake. Because I wanted the onde onde cake to be oval in shape, I cut the banana lengthwise.
How to make
1.Take enough dough to wrap the banana pieces.
2.Put the banana pieces into the dough, place them in the middle of the dough to make it easier to wrap the bananas.
3.Cover the banana slices with the flour mixture, so that they have an oval shape like this.
4.Heat the cooking oil, but not too hot, so that the mixture cooks evenly when fried, cook over medium heat.
5.Put the banana mixture into the hot oil.
6.Fry the banana mixture until golden yellow, don't forget to turn the other side.
7.Once both sides are brownish yellow, remove and drain so that the cooking oil level is reduced.
8.Heat the sugar until it melts, use low heat.
9.After the sugar has melted, add the fried banana pieces, stir until evenly mixed. Turn off the stove.
The result
The banana onde onde cake that evokes my memories of when I was in elementary school is ready to be served, there is a feeling of joy that I can't express in words and most importantly my children really like it, I ate this onde onde cake while telling stories about my life in elementary school, my children very enthusiastic about my story.
