Steaming bamboo baskets, crispy banh-mi, bites of fresh herbs in fragrant soups, and pandan chiffon cake: the canteen and street kitchens of Southeast Asia delight the world.

In the stoves of European kitchens, young chefs and young entrepreneurs from the 2nd, or even 3rd, generations of immigration are making a daring and authentic return to the culinary cultures of their roots.

Recipe 

Cake cloth 

A soft and light cake like a cloud, easy to make.

You can flavor your cake by adding orange blossom extract, bitter almond or better pandan extract!  

Ingredients: 3 eggs / 30g + 110g of sugar / 40ml of oil / 60ml of water or coconut milk / 75g of flour, 3g of sifted yeast.  


Mix the 3 egg yolks, sugar, oil and water.

Add the flour and the yeast.

Beat the egg whites by incorporating 55 g of sugar twice to obtain a beautiful shiny meringue.

Fold it into the dough.

Pour your chiffon cake into an ungreased 17 cm diameter mold.

Bake for 30-35 minutes at 170 ° (th 5).

Turn the mold over, let cool and turn out!

It's ready !
