Instructions

  1. 1 Combine beef shanks and water in a large stock pot. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a very low simmer. Use a strainer to skim off any foam on the surface. Add carrot pieces, whole onions, celery stalks, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Simmer for 4 hours, skimming the surface occasionally.
  2. 2 Strain the stock. Discard the vegetables but reserve meat. Allow stock to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a covered container and refrigerate overnight. When beef shanks are cool, remove meat from the bones. Discard bones and gristle. Dice meat and any remaining marrow into small cubes. Cover the container and refrigerate overnight.
  3. 3 The next day, heat vegetable oil in a stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in garlic and 1 diced onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add paprika and cook 1 additional minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly wilted and reduced in bulk, about 8 minutes.
  4. 4 Remove beef stock from the refrigerator; skim and discard any fat. Pour stock into the pot; stir in reserved chopped beef. Add tomatoes with their juice. Bring soup to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the soup, partially covered, until cabbage is quite soft, about 1 hour.
  5. 5 Stir in lemon juice, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper. Add more water, if desired, for a thinner soup. Cook for 5 minutes, uncovered. Taste and adjust the seasonings before serving.

  1. 1 Warm milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 2/3 cup sugar and stir to dissolve, about 3 minutes. Make sure milk does not boil; turn off heat if necessary.
  2. 2 Whisk eggs and egg yolk by hand; do not overmix. Pour slowly into the warm milk-sugar mixture and stir continuously over low heat for 1 1/2 minutes.
  3. 3 Strain through a tightly woven mesh strainer into a bowl to remove any solids that may have formed. Add vanilla extract to the bowl; mix until well combined. Set aside.
  4. 4 Pour 1 cup sugar into a wide skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until sugar has evenly melted and turned a golden caramel color, about 5 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a pressure cooker-safe cake pan, coating the bottom with liquid sugar. Pour in custard. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  5. 5 Place a trivet in the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and add 1 cup water. Place the cake pan onto the trivet and close and lock the lid. Seal the valve and select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 9 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  6. 6 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 10 minutes, then turn the valve to Venting to release remaining pressure. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove the trivet and pan.
  7. 7 Allow to cool for 1 hour, then chill for at least 3 to 4 hours, or overnight. Slide knife carefully around the edges and hold the bottom securely as you invert onto a large serving dish; the caramel should drip over the flan and onto the plate.

  2. 2 To make the latik: Bring coconut milk to a boil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Continue to boil, stirring occasionally, until oil begins to separate from the milk, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Reduce heat to medium. Continue to cook, scraping the bottom of the skillet regularly with a heatproof spatula until only golden brown residue and oil is left, about 15 minutes. It will look a bit like ground meat, this is normal.
  4. 4 Strain mixture to separate coconut solids from the oil. The coconut solids are the latik and will be served with the pudding. Reserve the oil for another use. Cover and chill the latik until serving time.
  5. 5 Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, extending the paper up two sides of the pan. Set aside.
  6. 6 To make the pudding: Whisk sugar and cornstarch together in a medium saucepan.
  7. 7 Stir in coconut cream, cream-style corn, and corn kernels, if using. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Continue to cook and stir until mixture is thick and bubbly, 2 minutes.
  8. 8 Pour corn mixture into the prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours before serving.

Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in it and turn to coat the dough with oil. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place until the dough has doubled in volume; about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 equal pieces. Form each piece into a cylinder and roll out until the 'log' is 1/2 inch in diameter. Using a sharp knife, cut each 'log' into 1/2 inch pieces. Place the pieces, flat side down, onto two lightly greased baking sheets. Gently press each roll down to flatten.
