Sundanese Frankfurter Pudding

Ingredients

In this Sundanese adaptation, the traditional German Frankfurter Pudding is transformed by incorporating Sundanese spices and flavors. The original dish is typically sweet and made with bread, eggs, sugar, and milk. However, in this version, the sweetness is replaced with savory flavors by using local spices like turmeric, galangal, and lemongrass. Additionally, the bread is substituted with Frankfurter sausages to add a meaty element to the dish. We alse have the original recipe for Frankfurter Pudding, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Coconut milk — Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture.
• Lemongrass — Bruise the lemongrass stalk by lightly pounding it with the back of a knife to release its flavor.
• Galangal — If fresh galangal is not available, you can use dried galangal powder as a substitute.
• Turmeric — Wear gloves or be cautious while handling fresh turmeric as it can stain your hands and clothes.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier kick, add a small chili pepper to the egg mixture.
• Serve the Sundanese Frankfurter Pudding with a side of steamed rice for a complete meal.
• Experiment with different herbs for garnishing, such as mint or Thai basil, to add a refreshing twist.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of lemongrass and galangal.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.

Serving advice

Serve the Sundanese Frankfurter Pudding warm as a main dish. It pairs well with a fresh salad or pickled vegetables on the side.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, sprinkle some fried shallots on top of the pudding before serving. The golden brown color and crispy texture will add an appealing visual element.
