#uj cake

[coinin]

@gradientdescent-does-it-all inspired by our conversation about whether uj cake would make decent hiking food, yesterday I dusted a slice in potato starch, wrapped it in parchment paper, left it overnight, and then threw it in my purse today while running errands. Worked great! I really don’t think it even needed the potato starch, but it would probably help if a batch came out sticky.

Behold, the starched uj cake after being in my purse for about eight hours. It’s essentially unchanged.

If I were feeling a little more motivated I’d plug the ingredients into one of those online calorie calculators and see if I could get a rough estimate of calories per slice, but I’m lazy. I would guess it’s similar to a Kind bar.

@colection-of-chaos from this post but i didn't wanna start yelling in op's notes about why i think the galaxy's edge uj cake recipe is honestly kinda pretentious

so for context this is the galaxy's edge uj cake recipe

firstly those pieces in the picture are way too big. holy shit that is a brick. this is not a nice light fluffy cake as most people would think of a cake, what 'uj cake' actually is is a BLOCK of dried fruit, nuts, seeds, etc, bound together by essentially caramel. you DO NOT WANT to eat a FIST SIZED PIECE of that

but with the actual recipe, my problem is this: simply not flexible enough. too specific of ingredients. uj cake must have some combination of nuts and dried fruit, possibly other stuff, and it must be somewhat sticky, and it must be shelf stable. if you have met all of those requirements, you have made uj cake

'slivered almonds' my ass, you chuck whatever you have available in a bowl. these aren't cheap ingredients, if you've got half a bag of dried mango or a bunch of snack packs of raisins, toss that in there

i do appreciate the spice recommendation, but again, just kinda do whatever you want. i generally include pepper, ginger, and cinnamon, but its up to you!!

overall it's really not a bad recipe. it's canon accurate, it'll get you an uj cake, there's nothing wrong with it. i just have a firmly held belief that mandalorian 'recipes' are really more of a flexible set of guidelines

On GFFA’s version of YouTube, there’s a channel called Regular Ordinary Mandalorian Meal Time (In Mando’sic).

Two Mandalorians upload 1 video a week showing the holonet how to make Mandalorian dishes. Everything is cut using vibroblades, they punch the meat to tenderize it, flamethrowers are brought out for actual cooking, and at one point, they use their own armor as a griddle.

Some parts of the holonet have the videos behind an age restriction because no one knows what they’re screaming, and they only scream when speaking.

No one knows how the food comes out looking like it came from Coruscant’s best five star restaurants. There are pages long comment arguments about how food that spicy shouldn’t be edible.

When they hit 200 million subscribers they make 200 pounds of uj’alayi and have a party. The Mand’alor shows up and they end up trending on Space Twitter for two days.

Finding out there’s uj cake, a Mandalorian dessert, sticky sweet with fruits and nuts and a sweet spiced syrup. Nice.

Finding out there’s recipes passed down for generations. Niccceee.

Also finding out they are sometimes brought into battle and hidden in the armor, because why not sweet? yesss

Now picturing Starlight making some just as their buir taught them and shoving a small tin of it into Maul’s hands before a mission.

It’s sweeter than most things he’s eaten but damn if he is not struck by the gesture.

The descriptions of uj’alayi or uj-cake sound like baklava.
