Nom Krok ( coconut cake) recipt.

Nom Krok is an ubiquitous street snack made in the cast iron kanom krok pan. This version is rich, custardy and consistent.

Ingredients

Makes: 50 cakes

• 2 cups (500ml) coconut cream
• 3/4 cup + 1-2 Tablespoon rice flour
• 1 1/2 Tablespoon tapioca flour
• 1/4 cup finely grated coconut
• 1/4 cup caster sugar
• 1 Tablespoon finely ground jasmine rice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 green onions, sliced thinly

Mix all of the ingredients until the sugar is dissolved. You may have to add more rice flour after testing the batter.

Heat up the kanom krok pan. When it is hot, wipe the divets several times with a well oiled cloth.

The pan is ready when the batter is poured and it sizzles. The pan should not be smoking. Stir the batter and pour in 1 or 2 divets for testers. Cover and let cook for 5 minutes and check. The cake should be brown around the outside, but not burnt. Carefully take out the cakes by scraping around them with a spoon. If the cakes stick too much, add a tablespoon of rice flour and try again.

Stir the batter every time you make a batch, because the rice flour settles to the bottom. Make sure the divets are well oiled before making a batch.

Add a sprinkle of green onion to the cakes before covering. After the cakes are cooked, the hemispheres are usually placed on top of each other to make little spheres.

Facts about Penguins.

The emperor penguin is the largest of the penguin species and can weigh up to 90 pounds when mature and not fasting to incubate eggs. The fairy penguin is the smallest and weighs only 2 pounds.

The light front and dark back coloration of classic penguin plumage is called countershadingand it provides superb camouflage from above and below to protect penguins in the water.

Emperor penguin males will incubate their eggs for two months in the winter without eating while the females are at sea. During that time, they live off their fat reserves and may lose half their body weight. When the females return shortly after the chicks hatch, they switch parental duties and the females fast while the males go to sea to replenish their fat stores.

There are 18 species of penguin in the world. Penguins are primarily found only in the Southern Hemisphere.In captivity, penguins can be found all over the world. 

While swimming, penguins will leap in shallow arcs above the surface of the water, a practice called porpoising. This coats their plumage with tiny bubbles that reduce friction, allowing them to swim as fast as 20 miles per hour (32 kph)

Penguins’ eyes work better underwater than they do in the air, giving them superior eyesightto spot prey while hunting, even in cloudy, dark or murky water.

.Penguins lost the ability to fly millions of years ago, but their powerful flippers and streamlined bodies make them very accomplished swimmers. They are the fastest swimming and deepest diving species of any birds. 

Depending on the species, a wild penguin can live 15-20 years. During that time, they spend up to 75 percent of their lives at sea. Penguins have many natural predators depending on their habitat, including leopard seals, sea lions, orcas, skuas, snakes, sharks and foxes.
