[ENG] Vegetable Stock

This is the vegetable stock i made for my Pumpkin Soup, i found the recipe on Youtube (link below this post), i didn't really follow the measurement but i think it turned out okay. So actually i also had to put some fresh herbs, but i couldn't find any in the local fresh market, so i just used dried bay leaves. Well basically i just used what i could find at the market ^^ 

[ENG] Pumpkin Soup

So, after i made my Korean Pumpkin Porridge, i feel extra challenged & decided to make my own pumpkin soup! I love pumpkin soup and i've been wanting to make this for so long. It's more challenging than the korean pumpkin porridge because i have to make my own stock since i can't find a good store-bought vegetable stock here. After youtube-ing for a simple vegetable stock, i finally found one, and ready to make my first ever pumpkin soup!

This soup isn't that hard to make, but you have to be a little patient, since it takes time to make the stock and roast the pumpkin, but actually all you have to do is wait. Wait for the stock to simmer for about 2 hours, and the pumpkin to be soft for 2 hours in the oven. I also youtubed for the pumpkin soup recipe, and found the recipe from Sorted Food which looks really good.

[ENG] Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chunks Soft Cookies

Last week i've been craving for really good soft & chewy cookies. They don't really sell soft cookies here in Indonesia (well maybe in some special supermarkets, but not the local ones), so i decided to make it my self. I found this awesome recipe on TheSquishyMonster Channel on youtube. It's really interesting recipe since she uses brown butter and the cookies are stuffed with chocolate caramel candy! I did end up going to the special supermarket to get the brown sugar & the chocolate (strangely they don't sell local brown sugar here, but palm sugar is everywhere), but hey, freshly baked homemade cookies will taste even better than a store bought one! I also replace the vanilla extract with a vanila bean, just because i have many left from my previous vanilla extract experiment.

And they turned out amazing! I did think the texture will be soft & chewy, but they turned out to be more cakey than chewy, so it's a little minus for me there, but the overall flavor was beyond my expectation. They're so so good. This recipe also requires you to mature the dough for at least overnight, so i had to be real patient, but it's definitely worth the wait! I think i can easily eat the whole batch on my own, within a day lol

[ENG] Korean Pumpkin Porridge

This korean pumpkin porridge is more a dessert than an appetizer. Unlike the pumpkin soup, it doesn't used any chicken/vegetable stock, so the flavor is pretty much pure pumpkin flavor, and it's also a lot sweeter than a pumpkin soup. The first time i ate this was at a korean restaurant. It has a gooey, thick texture, sweet  with some small mochi on top. And i really like it!
