How to cook Sweet Tofu Pudding ?

Ingredients:

6 cups homemade soy milk

2 teaspoons gypsum

2 teaspoons cornstarch or potato starch

1/3 cup water

Ginger Syrup:

One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and pounded

8 oz rock sugar

1 cup water

1 screwpine (pandan) leaf, knotted

OR

Gula Melaka Syrup:

8 oz gula Melaka

1 cup sugar

1 screwpine (pandan) leaf, knotted

Method:

Make the syrup by boiling the ingredients until the syrup reduces to a thicker consistency. If you make both syrups, reduce the amount by half.

In a bowl, mix together the gypsum, starch and water. Stir to combine well.

Bring the soy milk to boil. As soon as it boils, skim off the foam/bubbles. Turn off the heat.

Stir the gypsum mixture and add to a wide pot. Pour the soy milk into the pot, at about 1 foot above the pot. This will make sure that the gypsum mixture distributes well in the soy milk. DO NOT STIR.

Cover the pot with a kitchen towel and then with the lid. Let the tofu pudding set, for about 1 hour.

To serve, use a shallow ladle to scrape some of the tofu pudding into a serving bowl. Add some syrup and serve immediately.
