YELLOW RICE 🍚 BASE
-------------------

Ingredients
- Rice 🍚
- Honey 🍯 (or vegan replacement like Maple Syrup)
- Curcuma
- Salt 🧂
- Pepper 🌶️

Fill the rice with water 1:1 💧. Boil ⚗️ slowly for 10min ⏲️. Add more water 💧 
if rice soaked all of it. Add the rest of the ingredients. Stir and wait 
another 10min ⏲️. The rice should be very sticky at the end - resembles 
pudding or mashed potatoes a little bit.

This is just a base. Add anything you like. Fresh vegetables 🥒, canned green 
pea 🥫, smashed tomatoes 🍅 or whatever you prefer.
COFFEE ☕ AROUND THE WORLD 🌍
------------------------------

Coffee is known to anyone in the world. It's the most used drug. 
Let's make it more exciting by trying recipes from around the world. I choose 
only those I like and drinking often. They are easy to make with common 
ingredients.

Each of the recipes includes espresso and some unusual addition. 
It speaks for itself how to prepare it :)


** Kopi Jahe ** from Indonesia
Prepared with ginger roots. Optionally add herbs 🌿: cinnamon, cardamon 
and sweetener like honey 🍯.


** Mazagran ** from Catalonia
Served with ice 🧊 and lemon 🍋 juice. Citrus boosts ⚡ caffeine effects.


** Melya ** unknown origin
Unsweetened powdered cocoa and honey 🍯. Cocoa is also a very old drug 
used by Aztec.

olive oil 🫒. Also some salt 🧂, pepper 🌶️ and soaked chia seed. Mix and knead

center and file to form a cone/dumpling 🥟. Put into the pan 🍳 and fry

soft inside. Almost like a cheese 🧀.

RICE PANCAKES 🍚🥞 AS BREAD REPLACEMENT 🍞
-------------------------------------------

Remix of a Pathiri (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathiri), 
a pancake made of rice flour.

Ingredients
- Rice 🍚
- Rice flour 🍚
- Corn flour 🌽
- Honey 🍯 (or vegan replacement like Maple Syrup)
- Olive oil 🫒
- Salt 🧂
- Pepper 🌶️
- Rice drink (milk replacement) 🥛

First made the rice for sushi 🍣. But even more wet and overcooked 
a little bit. Put chia seeds in water to soak while rice is in the 
making. Take the rice to cool down. Add rice and corn flour in 1:1 mix.
 Add the rest of the ingredients and mix it up. Add good amount of oil. 
 The dough should be wet and soft but holds a spoon 🥄 straight. 

Warm up the pan 🍳 and add sufficient oil 🫒. Put a few small pieces of 
dough and form pancakes 🥞. Fry on both sides until golden/little brown.

Use this as normal bread sandwiches 🥪. Peanut butter 🥜🧈 and honey 🍯. 
Cheese 🧀 and tomatoes 🍅. You get the idea.
