The Fuwanovel Recipe Game

[Tay]

I had a crazy idea the other day and was wondering if people would be interested in it.  Here's the concept:

 

1. Person A posts a favorite recipe as a challenge.   
2. Person B looks at the recipe and if it's something they want to try, they "Accept" the challenge.
3. Person B has a set amount of time to make the recipe, take a picture, and post the picture and a review of the recipe.
4. Person B then posts the next recipe.

 

Does that appeal to any of you?

[Mevvrynne]

I do cook a lot, but the only issue I have with it (to the point I can't even play yet) is that I lack a camera to take a picture.  I know right?  I have this several thousand dollar computer station, but no camera.

But overall I like the idea.  Once I get a camera I'd be willing to try it.

[Nayleen]

I think this is a great idea, especially since I love cooking - the only annoying thing about it would be that I have to go buy ingredients for every challenge as I don't have too much around most of the time. Oh well.

[Flutterz]

This sounds interesting, only problem is I pretty much never cook, and while I'd love to post pics of things going terribly wrong, I'm afraid I'd get laughed out of the house by my parents. >.> Maybe someday when I'm alone.

Sounds fun. Is this topic meant to start it off?

I guess so!  I mostly wanted to see if people were interested, but it looks like we have at least a few takers.  Somebody want to start us off with a good recipe?  

 

EDIT: If people have suggestions for the rules, that's cool, too.  It can be more round-robin, or have multiple challenges going on at once.

[Katatsumuri]

Is this where we might end up with food that looks so horrible that it's censored, or do we need a VN heroine for that?

[Yukiru]

seems like a great game, i started to live alone a few months ago, so it will come sorta handy

First challenge then kladdkaka (sticky cake) it's easy to do and super good with some whipcream

 

Time limit 30 minutes i do not count the time it's in the oven
swedish Brownie ”Kladdkaka”
10 tbsp melted butter or 100grams 
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 eggs
4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1 ½ tbsp vanilla sugar or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cups all purpose flour
Dash of salt don't take to much here will taste horibble
Do not use a mixer for this. You should hand stir all this together. First stir all the butter, sugar and eggs. Then add the cocoa, vanilla, flour and salt.
Butter and bread a 9” spring form pan and pour the mixture in there. It is ok that is doesn’t fill the full plan once it goes into the over it will spread out.
Bake in 400F for 25minutes. Do not over cook. It should be hard on the outside and sticky in the inside. you can test it with a fork if it is hard to get in and comes out sticky it's done. (sounded a bit perverted lol)
Let the cake cool and server with whipped cream.

Reporting in.

 

Difficulty: 1 - a child could make this. I converted the units according to the internet and everything turned out perfect.

 

100g butter

170g white sugar

85g flour

2 eggs

4 tea spoons cocoa

1.5 tea spoons vanilla sugar

1 dash of salt

 

Baked at 200°C for 25 minutes, but I think 20 would have been enough.

 

The dough (tastes super yummy already)

 

Put into the form

 

After baking

 

Cut up and powdered

 

The soft core (it's a little too well done, so I'll try with 20 minutes baking the next time)

 

Rating: 8/10 for the recipe, which isn't your fault Sioxz - next time I'll try baking it for a shorter amount of time and maybe add in some chocolate drops as well for a double-chocolate stickycake. Would definitely recommend.

[Mevvrynne]

Ok, now I'm unbelievably hungry and I have to leave for classes.

[Nayleen]

I just noticed a major screw up on my part by using tea spoons instead of tablespoons, especially for the cocoa, that's why it's so light in color. Oh well, turned out alright. I might make another back for the lulz to see how it's supposed to look and taste like when done properly.

 

Edit: My follow up recipe for:

 

Fried Rice - Nay Thai Style

 

Time necessary: 40 minutes preparation, about 10 minutes cooking.

 

300g rice (I only use white jasmine rice)

150-200g pork or chicken

110g corn (maize)

2 tbsp (ideally peanut) oil

1-2 cloves of garlic, chopped (one is plenty for my tastes)

1 medium sized onion, chopped

1/2 tsp black pepper

4 tbsp soy sauce of your choice (I prefer dark)

4 tsp green curry paste

1 cucumber

2 carrots

3 green onions

1 lime

 

Preparations

 

Cut up the carrots into either slices or whatever cut suits you.

Steam with the rice, only for about 5-10 minutes depending on size of your cuts, you don't want them too hard or too soft.

 

Cook your rice beforehand and put in the fridge for about 2 hours. No need to salt it.

 

Peel the cucumber, then cut in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut into slices afterwards.

Cut the green onions and your meat into 1 inch/2.5 cm slices. Cut the lime into slices.

 

Put everything up to here on the sides.

 

Actual cooking

 

Heat your wok or frying pan (you'll need quite a big one for this much).

Put the oil in there until it's really hot (peatnut oil would start to smoke at this point).

 

Then add garlic, your chopped onion and pepper.

Fry for 2 minutes, add your meat and fry depending on tastes until either well done or crispy.

 

After that add the rice and corn and carrots and fry for another 3 minutes, stir constantly.

 

Put both soy sauce and curry paste into a small bowl and mix thoroughly, then pour slowly over the rice while stirring, you want this to get everywhere for a nice color and consistent taste. Keep frying until you've got everything mixed up properly.

 

Add this point I press out the juice of 2-3 lime slices over it, but that's optional.

 

Put into a bowl and add the limes and green onion slices for decoration.

 

I guess that's about it.

did you notice why almost every swede is crazy about Kladdkaka? we even have cookies with the taste off kladdkaka (is a good thing if you are to lazy to bake a kladdkaka by yourself) and it's supposed to be a more or less a cake so try a round pan next time and the more cocoa the better

[Nayleen]

Hm, I liked having it more brownie-sized to be honest, made it easier to offer some to the neighbors as well.

 

Added my follow-up recipe in my previous post if anyone feels up to it, it's fairly easy but requires quite a bit of preparation.

 

Edit: Finished the second batch, though I'm unsure which one I actually like more...

My cellphone's flash doesn't do this justice, they're REALLY dark now:

 

[solidbatman]

We ought to rename this thread, "Cooking with Nayleen" Hell, we could give you your own cooking show. Merchandise it with a cooking VN that you are the star of. 

[Sioxz]

they can still not be calles Sticky cake (kladdkaka) becasue it should be so sticky that you can't even cut it properly if it's not cold and it's still a cake not brownies

[Nayleen]

Might be the stupid oven, I even reduced the time for this batch... Oh well, still tasty. *noms down on his pseudo-brownies*

[Sioxz]

and go with 175C if you have an hot air oven otherwise 200C i hope i get off my lazy ass and bake a kladdkaka soon i just buy the cookies

[zoom909]

Here's what wikipedia has to say about kladdkaka

 

Kladdkaka (lit. Gooey cake but more commonly known as "chocolate mud cake" [to whom?]) is a type of Swedish cake. This dense. sticky chocolate cake is similar to the American brownie. but has a soft and viscous centre. It is sometimes eaten with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

The cake is basically a chocolate-flavoured sponge cake without leavening.

[Nayleen]

Yeah, I guess all that went wrong is still too much heat and/or baking time. A third batch will have to wait a bitch though.

 

Edit: Not even correcting that typo, eh.

Aw heck.  Doesn't look like anybody has called dibbs on this one (or if I missed it, I'll just make it, too).  Looking forward to it!  Should be done by lunchtime tomorrow.
