Tree Trunks' Apple Crepes (Adventure Time)

I feel like this is one of the cutest breakfasts ever! I folded the crepes/apam balik like "elephant ears" for Tree Trunks and then steamed them so that they wouldn't brown for the picture. The filling is filled with plenty of fresh apples. ginger, raw sugar and peanuts! What more could such a lovely little elephant want? On the side I just decided to make a checkered apple for obvious reasons and to decorate I also added some grapes.

Tree Trunks Pandan Crepes Recipe:

1 batch of Apam Balik

1 tsp of Pandan Extract (to the liquids)

Filling:

1/2 small Apple

A Handful of Minced Peanuts

2 tbl of Raw Sugar

1 tsp of Cinnamon

1/4 tsp of Minced Ginger

Make everything according to the recipe and simply don't allow the ears to brown fully. If you wish for them to be more sturdy you can fully brown one side or you could brown both if you're cooking them for your children. Fill them before they are totally solid but after they get a bit of cooking around the rim. Serve with your favorite fruit and enjoy!

Princess Bubblegum Sushi Tutorial (Adventure Time)

I was going to make some "Tree Trunks Apple Crepes" today but my crepes didn't turn out as I liked them so I'll probably revise the recipe soon. I woke up early today and decided to use up the last of my white rice and my cooked brown rice in my favorite shapable food - sushi. I hope that you like it - and so I've included a tutorial for it. What would you like to see next from me?

Step 1. Have two tones of WARM rice - one a light pink/purple and the other a bright red, orange or hot pink. You can alternate if you wish but otherwise it wouldn't be Princess Bubblegum.

Step 2. Flatten your darker rice down and use a rubber spatula to make it more rectangular. Make sure that it is even.

Step 3. Make your lighter rice into a cylinder shape as best as you possibly can and place in the middle of the dark rice.

Step 4. Roll half of your dark rice over (make sure that its all still warm) using the plastic wrap and squeeze tightly but gently. Pinch and squeeze the sides together as much as possible so that they form together and pinch to make the hair a bit (however you like).

Step 5. Make sure that your sushi rice colors align together correctly, wet your knife and wipe on a paper towel. Slice your sushi thickly to keep it from falling apart, repeat the wetting and continue. Then you can make the crown. 

How To Make A Crown

Step 1. Start out with a nice yellow mini pepper or large yellow paper and ensure that there are no spots. 





Step 2. Cut your pepper in half lengthwise and (if you wish) you can remove the ribs and seeds.

Step 3. Cut a triangle from one of the pepper slices, cut two triangles from that and carefully carve two little circles into the side for roundness. Try to cut a circular knotch for her gem on top, add a radish slice to the top and then place on top of your sushi.

Decorate your sushi as you like, serve with tempura and enjoy!

How To Make A Finn Sandwich (Adventure Time Tutorial)

This is a very simple and quick way to jazz up your sandwich for the fourth season of Adventure Time! Great for picnics, snack breaks after rescuing princesses or just to enjoy on your own!

 The first step is bread - what's a sandwich without bread? A not-wich it is! And Jake would have nothing to do with it - make sure that your bread is sturdy enough to handle any cutting or slicing but soft enough to imprint on. You can put everything in your sandwich now and cut with it or add your stuff later.

Use a cookie cutter or jar top to lightly press a circle or an oval (pinch the top sides lightly) shape into the bread. Make sure to have both pieces of bread together so that they kind of suction together enough for cutting.

Next, lightly place your top back on and use a knife to cut off the crusts. Use a pair of scissors to snip his hat ears carefully
'

Add some raisins, natural food dye or nori to your sandwich for his eyes and mouth then use cheese, parsnips or radishes for the teeth. Add your fillings and then enjoy!

Sushi Time

Okay, I've been going a little crazy with tofu lately - I know. But there are so many things that you can do with it especially with the fatfree vegan recipe that I just used in my breakfast bento. I found that when you start the tofu omelette off in a cold pan and keep the lid on until the top solidifies - it's very similar to egg sheets used for kyaraben. They didn't turn out as smooth as normal egg sheets but I think that was because I didn't use silken tofu.

Finn's Face:
1/2 block of Tofu (of your choice)
1/2 tbl Tahini
1 tbl Cornstarch
1 tbl Beet Juice
1/4-1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Iodized Salt

Jake's Face:
1/2 block of Tofu (of your choice)
1 tbl Cornstarch
1 tbl Water
1/4 cup of Nutritional Yeast
1/2 tsp Turmeric (I didn't have this)
1/2 tsp Iodized Salt

For Jake's face I had actually only used a fourth of a package of tofu, so if you follow the recipe exactly you may need to split it up into two batches. After you oil your medium-sized non-stick pan, spread in your tofu mixture and make it as round as possible and as smooth and even on top as possible. Turn on the heat and quickly put on a (hopefully clear) lid on top. Check it every so often and once the top solidifies, turn off the heat and remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to carefully scrape around the sides. Turn it upside down on a plate until it cools then pat it down once corrected.

Cut out and place on top of sushi rice and decorate with nori, soy cheese, carrots and sriracha as you like.

Enjoy!

It's Pancake Time!

Inspired by Pendleton Ward's Adventure Time - but edible! None of the images that I took inspiration from are owned from me, they are owned by the people that I mention.  The pancakes are two different flavors, and one is sweet while the other has a savory taste.

(Basic Pancake Mix Ingredients)

• 2 and 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 2 and 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 1/2 tsp Iodized Salt
• 1/4 cup Agave Nectar
• 1 tbl Ground Flax Seeds
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• Vegetable Oil (a few tbl per pancake)
• Water or Soy milk (to mix)

(Jake's Face Ingredients)

• Basic Pancake Mix
• Turmeric + Pineapple Juice
• Chocolate Sauce

(Finn's Face Ingredients)

• Basic Pancake Mix + Turmeric + Pineapple Juice
• Fresh Strawberry Juice + Water + 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice (face)
• Chocolate Sauce

(Directions)

• Mix the ingredients together
• Start off your pan onto the lowest heat with a little bit of oil and spoon (or squeeze with a bottle) the pancake mix in.
• If making Finn's face: make sure to keep it as oval as possible and do the strawberry pancake mix first. Add the hat after then use your spatula to shape everything).
• Once it has started to bubble up well, firmly shove your spatula under and carefully flip it.
• For Jake's face: you can just make the shape of his face
• Once done, let them rest on a paper towel to soak up any extra oil.
• Decorate with chocolate sauce.
• Enjoy!

If you want to make the Lumpy Space Princess, use blueberry + blackberry juice for the pancake mix, and for Princess Bubblegum you can just do the same thing as you did with Finn, except reversed.
