Pastechi = Pastei= Pastry
Pastechi = Pastei= Pastry
Pastei is the Dutch word for Pastechi. In English it falls into the category of savory pastries. Pastechi differs greatly from Surinamese and Asian pastei. I cannot always eat Surinamese or Asian pastei, because sometimes they contain rice. I learned to make pastechi from my father (1945-2011), during our short period living in The Netherlands 1984-1988. Almost every Friday after competitive swimming training and water balet lessons he baked bread or pastechi. It was something my parents were advised to give me after swimming lessons. They Actually advised bread, but he varied it with pastechi. In the Summer of 2010 when I was in care at UMC Utrecht the department staff asked me during expressive therapy (vaktherapie) to make something from my culture. I made Pastechi for the entire group.
