Just finished a small batch of hanami dango, japanese three-coloured dumplings. I got the recipe from the Manga Cookbook, which my boyfriend gave to me for my birthday. It’s a really nice book, would recommend it to anyone as an introduction to making Japanese food. I’ve spent ages looking for the right type of flour. Both mochiko and shiratamako are extremely hard to find in Norway unless you live in Oslo, and you MUST use these types of rice flour to get it right. Regular rice flour is just used to get the dango more firm. I managed to find some in Sweden, but used food colouring instead of matcha powder, since I didn’t find that. Sticky stuff, but very delicious!
Tada~n! This was my dinner yesterday, and will be today and probably tomorrow too, because of the major amount of prawns in that huge package from the store. It was the only one they had, and I wanted to fill my spring rolls with prawns, not meat. A bit stubborn, yes. xD And no, I didn’t go through the pain of making the rice wrappers myself.
Cheesecake is one of the desserts you’ll never grow tired of. There’s a mountain of possibilities when it comes to topping and such, so it’s probably one of the easiest and most fun things to bake. This is actually my second try on a cheesecake, the first one went horribly wrong. Sure, I finished the cake, but the whole thing slipped through my hands when I tripped, and the cake fell face down on the floor. My dog was happy, I wasn’t. Anyway, this is a rather basic cheesecake with raspberries on top covered by jello (I think that’s what it’s called in English, but I’m not sure. Around here it’s called gelé… xD). I’ve tried my best to make this recipe friendly for non-Norwegian people as well, the original recipe contains quite a lot of Norwegian brands and odd measurements. Just ask if you’re wondering about something, m’kies? ^^
Tada~! I made chocolate cornets today. I’ve always wanted to try some, but they don’t have them in Norway at all. I figured I should make some myself then, but the kitchen at my dorm isn’t really a place I find suitable for baking stuff like this. But now I am at home in Mysen, and all the stuff I’ve been wanting to make is finally being made! Too bad Konata couldn’t join me, she’s stuck at my desk back in Trondheim. Exactly what does a typical Norwegian Christmas dinner consist of? If you have searched around a bit, you might have found several choises. But the strange thing is, all these choises might just be correct. I will now try to list some of the things a typical Norwegian might eat on Christmas eve. Note that when I mention areas in which courses are eaten, do not take this as an absolute. People eat different things based on heritage and preferences. What I mention is just the general impression of things. The side dishes, like potatoes and so on, may also be different from area to area. Some people, for example, might eat mashed potatoes with lutefisk. Now, onto the food!
I am back in Trondheim again! I was supposed to go back last sunday, but I came down with a rather nasty cold and thus stayed in Mysen a couple of more days before leaving. I didn’t mind that though, if you’re sick, you might as well be sick at home where there’s more company, right? xD On saturday, we attended something called “Olaf Ryes Minnerenn”, a memorial skiing event for a man named Olaf Rye. I had never heard of him whatsoever. Heck, most people living in Mysen or Eidsberg haven’t heard of him. However, ask any Danish person who he was, and you’ll get an answer immediately. So how is it that Norwegians don’t know who Olaf Rye was, but almost all Danish do? |
