Coconut Milk Pudding (椰汁糕）

 


I'm thrilled to share this cool treat with you – coconut milk pudding. It is the ideal remedy for Malaysia's extremely hot heat. 

This coconut pudding consists of two primary ingredients.  The water from a young coconut comes first. The second ingredient is coconut milk which comes in a box. The original recipe calls for a combination of water and coconut milk. But I replaced it with coconut water.  Personally, I think that fresh coconut water is best.  It also gives the pudding an extra delicious taste! 

I am using gelatin powder in this recipe. One may question what the differences are between gelatin powder and agar agar powder.  Gelatin needs to be refrigerated to set, but agar can be left out to set at room temperature. Agar can tolerate greater temperatures and sets more firmly than gelatin. It is commonly used for making Jelly. Conversely, gelatin is more frequently found in panna cotta, Jell-O, and jiggly pudding. If you want the pudding to be firmer, you may also add more gelatin powder, but I want my pudding to be soft and jiggly! 



I'm using ramekin bowls to make it. You may also pour the coconut liquid into a container or individual cup. To make the mould removal process easier, make sure to coat it with cooking oil. 

To remove the pudding, blow around the ramekin with a hairdryer for about 10 to 20 seconds or you can use a squeezed dry hot towel wrap around the ramekin. You may also use a spoon to scope it out from the ramekin. If you make with a container,  turn the pudding out onto a cutting board and cut it into uniform cubes with a knife to serve.

This recipe is easy to follow. To make this, simply put all the ingredients in a saucepan and heat it until the sugar and gelatin are melted. How simple was that?

 

INGREDIENTS

1. 400ml coconut milk

2. 500ml fresh coconut water

3. 80g sugar

4. ½ tsp salt

6. 2 tbsp gelatin powder

 




METHODS

1. Combine the coconut water and gelatin powder in a saucepan, heat up low heat, keep stirring the mixture until the gelatin powder melts.

2. Add in the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Continue stirring the mixture at low heat until all the sugar melts.

3. Pour the coconut pudding mixture into the ramekins after greasing them with cooking oil. Scoop out the bubbles with a spoon.

4. Keep the coconut pudding in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. To remove the mould, blow around the ramekin with a hairdryer or you can use a squeezed dry hot towel wrap around the ramekin.

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉）

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉） – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉）

  A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavour of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial.   You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness.  Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried.  For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can w...

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso...
