INTERVIEW WITH KATELYN OF @KATFEWD

First things first, what is @katfewd all about?

@katfewd started off as a little Instagram page where I would share my cooking adventures and document my trials and errors along the way. As my number of recipes grew, it made sense to start a blog where I recipe develop and share my favourite recipes!

How did your passion with cooking start and what kind of foods are you most passionate about?

I started cooking during my gap year in order to (attempt) to eat less instant noodles in my first year of university, and realised I had so much fun in the kitchen! I love baking and experimenting with new recipes; you’ll find me getting my hands dirty kneading dough or watching food videos on YouTube for hours on end!

I love all food — so there’s all sorts of things I make, but in general I try to eat quite healthily! I enjoy finding ways to give my favourite foods healthy twists using more nutritious ingredients. I’m also a big believer in supporting local produce and brands, which I incorporate into my cooks and bakes as much as possible!

Aside from creating recipes, what do you do in your daily life?

I’m currently in my second year of university! I enjoy being outdoors and love fitness, my favourite would have to be spin (definitely have to exercise to burn of all those calories from trying out new recipes!) I also spend lots of time with my family, friends and my 14-year-old chihuahua, Scruffy!

What is your most favorite creation with Niko Neko Matcha / Houjicha / Genmaicha powder so far?

This is definitely a hard choice, but my favourite recipe has to be the one I make the most — my Genmaicha Butter! You’ll find me eating it straight out of the food processor right after making it — you’ll be lucky if some ends up in the jar! A close contestant would be my Genmaicha Chia Pudding, which I have nearly everyday for breakfast!

What do you like about working with Niko Neko Matcha / Houjicha / Genmaicha powder when creating your recipes?

I find Niko Neko powders blend amazingly with all kinds of milks without being powdery or clumpy, creating the perfect matcha latte or baked good! I’ve used it in everything from bread to overnight oats to tarts and it works every time!

Personal tips for your recipe viewers when working with Matcha recipes.

Be creative and go all out! Matcha powder is definitely a hidden gem in baking. Not only does it taste delicious but it is also full of all the good stuff — antioxidants, vitamins and minerals! Not to mention, with its vibrant shade of green it makes your cakes and tarts look divine!

RECIPE

Vanilla Genmaicha Chia Pudding

by katfewd

Ingredients

¼ cup seeds
1 cup milk of your choice
Maple syrup/honey (My almond milk is sweetened with coconut sugar, but if you’re using unsweetened milk I recommend adding about 1-2tbsp maple syrup/honey/sugar per portion as the matcha can be a bit bitter without it)
2 tsp MOKUREN / Genmaicha powder (per portion)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Method To Assemble

Add chia seeds and milk in the ratio of 1:4 in a jar (Note: Recipe can be adjusted depending on how much pudding you want to make!).
Add sweetener, MOKUREN / Genmaicha powder and vanilla extract and stir in until fully incorporated.
Stir up and cover, and leave in the fridge.⁣
After about 30 minutes, stir up the mixture again, then put back in the fridge ⁣(this is because it tends to clump up at the bottom).
After another 1 hour, stir it up again and it should have a pudding like consistency! If it is too runny for your liking, add more chia seeds, and if too thick add more milk (if you add in anything, repeat the stirring process after another hour).
Leave for at least 4 - 6 hours before eating!
