Bakwan Jagung (Fried Corn Cake)
Again, this is one of my favorite fried food. Some people in Indonesia add shrimp when they make this snack. I'm vegetarian and this blog about vegetarian kithen, so...without shrimps or anything with face (my husband's word).
In Indonesia we eat this snack together with small chili, rawit....I made a little bit modification. I add the chilies with the spices.
Okay ! Enough the chit chat....let's make BAKWAN JAGUNG.
Ingredients :
3 garlic cloves
3 chilies
1/2 tsp corriander
1 tsp sugar or brown sugar
Salt
White ground pepper
1 bunch green onion
1 can (15oz) whole kernel corn
1 C cabbage
1 C carrot
2 C all purpose flour
Water
Oil for fry
Grind the six first ingredients until smooth. In a big bowl put together the vegetables, spice, flour and water.
Stirring well, then fry them 1 spoon by 1 spoon until the dough finish.
I didn't make video for this recipe, because similar with Bakwan.

About Me
- Yvonne
- Honolulu, Hawaii, United States
- I'm just a house wive with many hobbies. Cooking, card making, baking (especially pastry), diving and the new one caking. I never thought I will decorate cake or cook before. In Indonesia, the country where I came from...maybe with people whom I knew..friends and families, no one vegetarian. Only me and my son...something odd for them. Sometimes I felt uncomfortable when they looked at me strange..I could read their mind " this lady is freak ". Once, I ordered fried noodle in restaurant. Special request..no meat, no shrimp, only vegetable. They added sausage and meat ball (bakso in Indonesia language). When I complained, the waiter said : But that's sausage and bakso. Geez, I didn't know what I have to do. I'm Budhist. So, after that I just said I'm Budhist and they respect more than vegetarian..hahaha. About cake, hhmmm...never made beautiful cake or delicious cake. I like cooking or baking just for myself and my son...until I met my husband Keith. He opened my eyes. I can cook delicious and I found the last thing I can bake nicely too. Thanks Honey !!! I still need to learn still newbie..
