    In the krupuk making process, there are actually two (maybe three) other Indonesian foods you made. The first steamed paste after it was rolled can be served as Otak-otak, then after the first cool down phase you made seblak. Now for the third, before you dehydrate the slices, the Japanese call it Naruto and serve it with Ramen (those cute swirly things in ramen). You also made renginang from the fried dried rice which is also a substitute for krupuk in some place in Indonesia.

      Fishcake is a food that you can cook in any manner, but for narutomaki, it's usually served steamed or boiled.
      As for Kerupuk, it's just a term that we use to refer to a group of food made out of fishery product and starch, fish like Wahoo, knife fish, and skipjack tuna are used here to make kerupuk, so if we want to, we can make a kerupuk and shape it like Narutomaki, halve it where one half is sliced thin and sun dried while the other is stored to be cooked as a kamaboko product.

    This video appeared on my home page yesterday. Now it's 2 am and I'm still watching your videos! If you like Chinese food that much, I'm 100% sure you're going to like Indonesian food because it's influenced by Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern cuisine, creating a perfect harmony. I can't even generalize Indonesian food because every part of Indonesia has their own style and they can be very different. But here's the best part, lots of them include kerupuk!

Also the one that you have from the box we usually identified it as kerupuk putih (white kerupuk) rather than kerupuk prawn, because we have kerupuk prawn and its similar to the one you made.

    Hey andong if you like crispy you definitely have to try pork crackling! Just buy a skin on pork belly, steam or boil it for 30 minutes and remove the skin with a sharp knife. Steaming or boiling it will make the process of removing the skin much easier. Try to leave as little fat on the skin as possible and when removed you can cut it in strips, squares or any shape you like. You then need to dehydrate the pork skin and deep fry it the same way as the shrimp crackers. For being just one ingredient they are super crispy and super flavourfull! (If you find pork skin by itself just buy it it but i wouldnt know where and also i probably dont have to tell you what delicious things you can make with pork belly, even without the skin!)

      He hasn't studied food science, or at the least, it is very likely that he hasn't. Here's why:
      Something as basic as starches would be covered in any food science course as a foundational topic. As part of a food science, course, you must also develop some level of scientific literacy, including the ability to use and search through scientific databases to read studies, and the skills necessary as a scientist for research. He doesn't have scientific literacy and used wikipedia alternatively to searching from scholarly research databases and looking at peer-reviewed articles for reading up on the science behinds starches. These articles provide a much deeper level understanding of the chemistry of starch, but also require a much higher education level to read. He also said he didn't actually know what retrogradation meant prior to this and found out via wikipedia, which is a term you'll also find to be covered very early on in a food science course.
      I get this is long, but I feel like when I'm saying something that goes against the grain, it needs to be well-substantiated.
      Now there is still the possibility that he did do food science and just forgot completely what retrogradation meant, and was too lazy/didn't have access to the databases or just quickly went through wikipedia, although the chances would be low. (Since you want a deep level of understanding given by scientific articles when explaining a topic rather than wikipedia which is typically more surficial). This small possibility exist, so it's just very likely he doesn't have a practical working knowledge of food science or a degree in it.
