I'm using some leftover durian which has some hard bits.

Mash all the durian including the hard bits (as long as they're not too hard). Mine tastes great already so I didn't add anything to it. By mashing and mixing it like this, you can eat the moderately hard parts too. Waste not!

Stir up a simple crepe batter which is essentially just flour, milk, egg, melted butter, sugar and a tiny bit of salt. I avoided salted butter and added just a pinch of salt since I wanted mine to be sweet.

Butter your pan and swirl the batter into a nice circle or whatever shape you managed to get. If your batter doesn't spread, it's too thick.

Depending on your fire (I use low because my stove is either low or ON FIREEE), it'll take 2-3 minutes for one side. Just turn a corner up to check if it's browning.

Flip and leave for 1-2 minutes more. Once done, transfer out to cool.

Once your crepes are kinda cool (because you need to touch it with your hands), spread the mashed durian across like this.

Roll it a little and make sure you place some durian here to help it stick.

Yummy durian crepe is done! Place in the fridge before serving (if you can wait).

[CookingWithWhatever] Beef Carrot Soup | Electric Lunch Box

Soup doesn't have to be troublesome. You can make soup without a stove.. in your dorm or rented room. I've started boiling soups frequently after I got an electric lunch box and it is sooo easy =D

LOVE the colours! The 'sweetness' of the soup will come from the beef and carrots here. As long as you let it boil long enough, the soup will taste great. I'm not even using the expensive, good parts of the beef.

Ingredients

• 1 carrot, sliced
• 1/2 medium onion (don't add the whole onion as it tastes very strong)
• Beef

Yes.. that's all. Just 3 ingredients! Make sure you cut the ingredients into smaller pieces to allow them to cook faster as the electric lunch box doesn't boil them directly. It's more of a steamer or as the Chinese call it, double boil.

Add enough water for 1 hour (or longer if you prefer). It will boil really quick.

Add water, salt & pepper to taste. Close the cover and boil for an hour. Be warned.. it is going to smell amazing.

And voila! Your soup is ready! Check your carrots first. If they're still hard in the middle, add water to the base and boil for 15 more minutes.

Hope you enjoy this soup! Would you like more easy, affordable meals using the electric lunch box?
