Indonesia, a Southeast Asian country not so far away from China, has exotic characteristics, but it also makes many people afraid to enter that country. In fact, there are many delicious and colorful foods hidden in Indonesia, which makes many tourists very excited. Indonesians love sweets, so snacks and desserts account for the majority in Indonesia's streets, and there is also a particularly bright ingredient that makes many people afraid of going to the hole.
On the streets of Indonesia, there is a snack called "Martabak", which was once translated into full fried cakes, but this Chinese translation is very easy to lead to misunderstanding. The color of the fully fried cake is the true color of wheat flour after baking, while Martabak is bright emerald, pink and bright red, because the color is especially bright, like paint, so many people call it "paint cake".
Martabak is made of simple materials, such as wheat flour, fresh milk, raw eggs, sugar and a little salt. In the process of making, a little yeast powder will also be added to the batter to make the snacks more fluffy and soft. Prepare a better batter and mix it all in a container. Bright colors come from edible pigments. Generally speaking, if you want to color food, you only need one drop or a few drops of nonfood pigments. However, in the case of designing Martabak, Indonesians will pour in a lot of melanin to make snacks more and more gorgeous.
when a large amount of food pigment is added, the batter becomes bright turquoise or pink. At this moment, pour the colored dough into a small dish, put the batter flat, and keep the high temperature to make the batter coagulate quickly, and Martabak completes a bottom edge. Indonesians who like desserts cover Martabak with sugar paddles, brown sugar, shredded coconut, cream cheese, coconut meat, small red beans and other ingredients, and the processed Martabak is a perfect dessert.
in addition to the sweet taste of Martabak, there is also a salty Martabak, but it is very rare in Indonesia. This kind of Martabak is made by frying the batter, adding toast bread, potatoes and fruits, and making Martabak suitable for dinner. However, perhaps the taste is not in line with Indonesians' hobbies, so the salty Martabak is generally not available.
how does p>Martabak taste? Friends who like dessert will definitely be fascinated by its taste, especially when Martabak has just been made, or when a hot cake is put with a lot of seasonings, it is best to add crushed peanuts and chocolate. Friends who like cream cheese must add cream cheese, so that the cream cheese can be baked with hot flow. After the cream cheese is melted, it is poured with a lot of condensed milk. Although the heat is terrible, it is sweet and fragrant.
If you still have a chance to travel to Indonesia for a holiday and see this kind of snacks sold on the street, why not buy a piece to eat? Remember never to buy too much, because Martabak not only has a high calorific value, but also has a strong satiety. If you eat two small pieces, you will not be able to stand up well. Of course, as long as you are not too tired, you can try to finish one by yourself.
