Orenmanieyo, tombler!

With some leftover red bean paste she religiously made for the Japanese red bean bun anpan, Vienna traveled to another East Asian country with its red bean pastries. Today we're making bungeo-ppang, a Korean fish-shaped waffle stuffed with red bean paste. The pastry originated from the Japanese taiyaki, with the similarity being the carp-shaped metal mold used to achieve that fish shape and the sweet red bean fillings. Bungeo-ppang's was introduced to Korea in the 1930s when Korea was under Japanese rule, but became more popular and high demand during in the 1990s during the retro craze in South Korea.

Bungeo-ppang is most often sold at street stalls in winter time, with toppings varies from the traditional red bean paste, to a more modern ones like chocolate, custard, and even ice cream. The name bungeo-ppang came from the combination of 'bungeo' ('carp' in Korean) and 'ppang' ('bread' in Japanese). Outside of the carp shape for the waffle mold, the pastry itself doesn't contain actual fish.

Today's bungeo-ppang recipe is made by Oni28 (the recipe can be downloaded here). Please remember that Oni’s Recipe Pack Mod needs to be installed on your mods folder (the latest version can be download here) for the recipe to appear on your game.

To make bungeo-ppang, one of the tips Vienna found is to use glutinous rice flour (also known as sweet rice flour or mochiko). This kind of flour is high on starch content which adds a soft and chewy texture to the dough. The ratio between all-purpose flour and glutinous rice flour should be 4:1.

Whisk together all-purpose flour, glutinous rice flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Whisk the egg and milk into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is nicely incorporated.

While she let the batter refrigerated for at least one hour, Vienna prepares the namesake "carp fish" bungeo-ppang mold. Heat the bungeo-ppang mold over medium heat and brush the interior with neutral oil. I personally adore this bungeo-ppang mold--the level of detail Oni28 made for this recipe is chef's kiss! 👩‍🍳🤌

Fill the mold halfway with the batter and let it cook for 30 seconds before adding the filling.

The star of today's recipe is the leftover sweet red bean paste from making anpan last time. Add a spoonful of the red bean paste, and cover again with the batter until the mold is full. Close the bungeo-ppang mold and immediately flip it so the batter spreads evenly. Let it continue cooking for 2-3 minutes before flipping again and cook for 2-3 more minutes until the surface is golden brown.

The bungeo-ppang with sweet red bean paste filling is ready to serve! The animation of throwing food into the plate in this game is always funny--reminded me of this other post where Aria also did some yoinking. 😅

Bungeo-ppang is not meant to be enjoyed alone, but while Vienna's husband doesn't necessarily need food to sustain--well, it's the thought that matters, I guess? See you another time (finger's crossed it's not another month-soon), and dag dag!

Bonjour, tombler!

Still on our brunch series with Nanami, today we're cooking the classic French and butter sandwich, also known as jambon-beurre. The dish we're cooking today is actually divided into two cc recipes by @oni28: baguette cc recipe can be downloaded here, and jambon-beurre cc recipe can be downloaded here. The recipes need Oni's Recipe Pack Mod which is updated regularly on their Patreon page.

The baguette made by this creator can be eaten as a meal or used as an ingredient for jambon-beurre. Even though The Sims 4™ logic makes ingredients appear automatically when you make a recipe, today Nanami decided to bake her baguette from scratch.

I love taking pan shots from Nanami's kitchen. Some elements including the top counters are from @tudtuds's BSCO Kitchen set which I think match very well with the base game counters (I think it's base game? Definitely need to check again).

Everyone in the family seemed to be challenging the inner trad wife by making their bread from scratch, Nanami included. To begin, prepare all-purpose flour, water, yeast and salt. Mix the ingredients and let the yeast do it work for about 10 minutes, followed by 3 stretches and fold over a period of 90 minutes (honestly I'm already lost here, goodbye). Let the dough ferment in the fridge for another 8-10 hours.

One important thing in making your own baguette is the baking stone. A heavy duty baking stone won't crack easily and will promote a better oven spring for the baguette. Preheat the oven to 500F or 260C with the baking stone positioned in the upper rack and a small pan with hot water and a rolled kitchen towel on the lower rack. The towel helps control steam release.

After scoring your baguette, slide them off with the parchment paper onto the hot baking stone. Using a water spray bottle, spray some in the sides of the oven to boost the steam. Bake for about 15 minutes, remove the water pan, and bake for another 15 minutes at 450F (232C) until deep golden brown.

If I were as successful as Nanami in baking baguette, I'd make that smug face too. Alas, 100% of what I wrote above is just a rewrite from the recipes I googled.

Now, onto the jambon-beurre. Jambon-beurre or parisien is the simplest combo of baguette topped by slightly salted French butter and spiced Parisian ham (also known as jambon de Paris). Yet, finding a great jambon-beurre is harder and harder to find. Pictured above, Nanami sliced each baguette in half length-wise.

Next, the butter and the ham. A good European butter makes the best choice, as it has a much higher fat content and less water compared to American butter. If you're unable to find European butter, pick a salted butter or sprinkle a few salt crystal over the unsalted butter. For the ham, using jambon de Paris or any unsmoked, wet-cured ham with juicy texture. The last part -- arguably also the easiest, is to combine everything together!

We've seen one of Nanami's twins in the previous post, but here's both of them eating jambon beurre together: Sean in a blue overall and Kieran in a light purple shirt. Sean loves to be carried but Kieran hates it, and they look so alike that Nanami sometimes mistakenly carried Kieran only for him to throw tantrum. The joy of the terrible threes, doubled.

Last picture featuring full serving of baguette, full serving of jambon-beurre, and a single serving of jambon-beurre. 'Til next post, dag dag!

P.S. Bonjour means "hello" in French.
