Kembarbola is one of those dishes that is so easy to make that you might have to eat it multiple times before you’re satisfied with how it tastes. It’s a light, creamy, and simple dish that is perfect when you want something sweet and easy to eat after a long day of work.
There are plenty of other ways to make this dish, but the two that I found to be the easiest to make were the two that came in my box.
The first one that I made was a “shark cracker”. This is a delicious crunchy mix of seaweed, chili peppers, and corn kernels that you can find just about anywhere (even in the supermarket), or you can get your hands on a ready-made version like this.
The second one is a chia seed cake that is best found in a bakery. The best part is that you can make this whole recipe in just about 5 minutes. I made the batter and then cut the cake into cubes and popped them into the freezer for an hour or so, to set up for a final bake.
If you don’t have a freezer, you can easily make your own in seconds. The best way to make the batter is to place your hand-rolled-up baking pan on the cutting board and slice into strips and then sprinkle the batter over the hot dough. This will keep the batter moist and smooth, and it will also keep the crumbs from drying out.

The first time I tried this I ended up with a lot of flour on the cutting board. I didn’t end up using it, but I know I’ll be making a batch of this for sure.
In case you didn’t know, kemba bola is a Philippine dish made of rice flour, egg, and salt. It’s usually made with raw eggs. However, in the Philippines, the batter is made with powdered egg. In my experience, you’ll find powdered egg is cheaper and produces a more uniform result. I’m not sure if this has anything to do with the name kemba bola.
