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.

Steamed Ma Lai Gou （马来糕）

  Today I will share with you how to make Malay kuih also known as “Ma Lai Gao”.   A steamed sponge cake from Malaysia, drew inspiration from British cakes. Later, Cantonese chefs modified it to become what we now know as dim sum. Traditionally, Ma Lai Gao's starter dough takes 24 hours to prepare. I'll show you how to make Ma Lai Gao quickly and easily today without losing out on texture or flavour. In fact, the appearance of “Ma Lai Kou” is very ordinary, not much different from ordinary cakes on the market, but its preparation method and texture are worth learning from. Because it is a fermented flour product, it has a soft and smooth texture. This recipe doesn't require baking, and the preparation of “Ma Lai Gao” is very simple, and the ingredients are divided into dry and wet. The wet ones are milk and eggs, while the dry ones are powdered ingredients. To put it simply, stir the wet ingredients evenly first, then slowly add the dry ingredients, ferment and then s...

Baked Cassava or Tapioca Cake （烤木薯糕）

Cassava or tapioca cake can be prepared in several methods, including baking, steaming and wrapping in banana leaves. It can be made with or without eggs and with or without butter. Today, I am going to share how to bake cassava or tapioca cake. Tapioca cake is very easy to make, whether to steam or to bake. The only tedious part is grating. I used to grate them into fine silk manually. But now I blend them with Thermomix to paste form. If you are using a regular blender, add a little water to the blender to blend it together. This cassava cake has a beautiful burnt skin on top and dense golden color inside. My daughter thought it was burnt cheesecake. The texture is soft but firm and not too sticky compared to the steam type. Every bite taste of cassava, coconut milk and the burnt aroma. Not overly sweet and greasy. If using a blender, cut the tapioca into smaller chunks, then carefully cut out the tough, fibrous core from the middle of each piece using a knife.   Once the t...

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...
