Ujeqe, yes OOje(click)e!!!!
This is a very unique recipe and not for the faint in heart. Just kidding! The name is more bark than bite. The recipe is very easy. See for yourself, the ingredients are below.
- 4 cups cake flour
- 3/4 packet dry yeast
- 5 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups Warm water
- Oil
First- Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Slowly add the warm to hot water while kneading the dry ingredients in. We are making a dough so create it to the consistency where the dough comes clean off your fingers and is no longer sticky. Keep some flour close, for security. When you knead it smooth set in a warm area and cover with a clothe. Let it sit for 15 minutes and rise a bit. After it has sat, knead it a bit more and then let it sit some more. This time longer, for about a hour. Now for the fun. Take a plastic grocery bag and with a paper towel covered in the oil, rub the inside of the bag to prevent it from sticking to badly. Put the dough in the bag, enclose the bag and then put into a 3 qt pot. This pot will then go into the 6 qt pot of boiling water just enough so it doesn't spill over. Like a double broiler. Let it steam in the pots for 2 hours, yes 1 1/2 to 2 hours. This will give you enough time to practice pronouncing its name. Open up the top of the bag to check if still doughy. You will also need to check it time to time and see if there is still water in the bigger pot.
Picture of what we served it with. A red curry full of chicken, potatoes, and red peppers. Sides- Butternut squash baked coated in rosemary, a pomegranate honey, lime, and olive oil.. baked to perfe...a little burnt.. oops sorry Kayla(so beautiful she's distracting). Also a curried spinach and peanut butter stew. Also not for the faint in heart.
