Olalala.....so delicious

Well, when we talk about pancakes and pancakes, here is a unique fact that I want to share with you. Try to listen.

Facts About Serabi

Do you know the authenticity of Serabi as a typical Indonesian cake, it's actually still being debated. According to culinary expert Bondan Winarno, he said that the origin of serabi has two possibilities.

First from India. There the food made of rice flour and coconut milk is called "Apam."

Oh yes, Serabi has also gone to class now. To make traditional snacks more popular with the public and to dispel the notion that this cake is only for the lower class, nowadays there are many sellers who create unique pancakes. They add a variety of toppings.

Starting from cheese, sausage, eggs, chocolate, bananas, and even rainbow colors. Let's be a rainbow pancake, haha.

Earlier I already gave information about serabi. Now it's my turn to ask, do you know the difference between Serabi Solo and Surabi Bandung?

In Solo, there are various flavors of surabi, yes. There are banana flavors, jackfruit flavors, chocolate flavors, and then original flavors. Maybe if Serabi Bandung, like there is a kind of gravy.

Second, it could also be influenced by the Netherlands. Moreover, if we look at the snacks in the West Sumatra area, they are called binekuk which means pancake in Dutch.

Then, yes, there are some people who often refer to pancakes as pancakes or surabi. You know it or not, different names are different again from the serabi.

If it's called serabi, it's typical of Solo.

While the mention of Surabi, it is typical of Bandung.

The presentation of the two is also different. If the Serabi Solo is usually served with crispy and crunchy edges. The meat is not that thick, while the topping uses mises, grated coconut, and cheese.

Meanwhile, if surabi is typical of Bandung, the meat is thicker, and the characteristic is precisely in the topping. That is using Javanese sugar, or durian.

In fact, this traditional food, Serabi is very popular in the Java area. Serabi Jawa is delicious when the bottom is burnt, maybe because it's hot, because it uses a clay pan. There are some people who say it can't be eaten, it's dangerous, it might also burn. But there are also people who then just cool it, don't care about it.

Do you know the difference between rice flour and wheat flour?

More or less the same. Because rice flour and wheat flour are included in the group of food sources of carbohydrates. So they are the same food whose function is to provide as a source of energy for our bodies. But the difference is the type of protein contained in it.

Wheat flour contains gluten, the protein. Gluten is a type of protein that is rather difficult for the Indonesian body to digest, because our pepsidae enzymes are less, and the possibility of allergies is higher than wheat flour than rice flour.

What Nutrient Contents Are In Serabi?

The basic ingredient is flour. It could be wheat flour, it could be rice flour. And both are carbohydrates and contain little vitamin B complex.

So pancakes are foods that are rich in carbohydrates as a source of energy and contain vitamin B complex.

Already explained. It turns out that rice flour is better than wheat flour. Those who want to be healthy, please listen to the explanation earlier.

Thanks for reading, see you later.

Best regards always.
