Frankfurt Cheese

Food stall menu #Frankfurt sausage #Cheese

What I’d recommend as a food stall menu item is Frankfurt with cheese! Pour beaten eggs into a frying pan, then place cheese and a grilled frankfurter in the center.

Next, roll the egg around the frankfurter, and finish by topping it with ketchup and mayonnaise.

You can also set out sauces, mustard, and other condiments so people can choose their own seasoning.

It uses just a few ingredients and is a dish that both kids and adults will love.

If you like, use this as a reference and give it a try.

Nikusui (beef broth soup)

This will seriously give you the classic, time-honored flavor. Effortless yet insanely delicious broth: meat udon without the noodles [The Ultimate Meat Sui].

Have you heard of a dish called “nikusui”? In Osaka it’s a very common menu item, and to put it simply, it’s like “beef udon without the udon.” It’s a curious dish—somewhere between hearty and light—a soup meant to be eaten, with plenty of beef in a Kansai-style broth richly flavored with bonito.

Nikusui is much loved, and wouldn’t it be a huge hit in regions outside Kansai where people aren’t familiar with it? It’s also delicious with tofu or an egg added!

cream puff ice cream

How to Make Ice Cream Puffs (Choux Pastry Filled with Parfait Glacé) – OCHIKERON – CREATE EAT HAPPY

Choux ice cream is perfect for a school festival food stall—easy to eat with one hand and convenient to carry around! Many people assume you have to buy choux ice cream, but you can actually make it yourself the same way you’d make cream puffs.

Bake the choux pastry, make the ice cream, pipe it into the baked shells before the ice cream sets, then freeze for a few hours—and it’s done! That said, it does take quite a bit of effort, so using store-bought products is recommended.

You’ll want to offer a variety of ice cream flavors, right?

baby castella (mini Japanese sponge cakes)

I tried becoming a baby castella vendor at home!

Baby castella, a classic street-stall treat.

You can source commercial-grade baby castella, but they’re also very easy to make with a takoyaki pan.

You could even make takoyaki and baby castella side by side.

Coating them with chocolate to add variety is a great option, too.

warabi mochi (bracken-starch jelly dessert)

Matcha Warabimochi (Potato Starch) Recipe | Panda Wantan

Warabi mochi is strongly associated with summer festival stalls, but you can easily make it with potato starch, and offer a wide range of variations like matcha, kuromitsu (black sugar syrup), and kinako (roasted soybean flour).

It also rarely overlaps with other vendors’ offerings, so it’s a great recommendation for a school festival or pop-up stall menu.

Waffle

Let's make crispy waffles! [Dessert-making video: Waffle recipe]

A quintessential dessert, this is a traditional European baked sweet.

Waffle makers are easy to find, so they’re simple to make.

There are Liège waffles, which are flavorful enough to enjoy on their own, and Brussels waffles, which can be topped with fruit, cream, or chocolate.

It might be fun to think up your own variations, too.
