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.

Nyonya Sticky Rice Dumplings

This is my version of Nyonya Zongzi. The taste is very different from salty meat Zongzi. When the first time I taste it, it is incredibly tasty, it’s slightly spicy but not too sweet. It has a strong spice flavor due to the fact that of using whole coriander and white peppercorns which were toasted and grinded into powder form. The biggest difference between the regular Zongzi and Nyonya Zongzi is in the filling -- one’s savory while the other's sweet. The regular salty Zongzi normally includes pork belly in a big piece, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chestnuts and salted duck eggs. And include a lit bit of five spice powder for some fragrance. The Nyonya Zongzi includes braised minced pork, dried shrimps, candied winter melon, and the strong spice from the whole grinded coriander seeds and white peppercorns is the key to the greatest flavor. And it comes with a blend of sweet and savory, with aromatic spice notes and a hint of sweetness. The blue and off-white appearance with a ...

Easy Apple Tart With Almond Cream

This apple tarts made with frangipane or almond cream, and apples. It’s delicate, beautiful, and most importantly, delicious. The combination of apples, almonds, and cinnamon creates a warm and delightful dessert. Excellent while still warm from the oven, at room temperature, or even cold. The tart itself is buttery and crunchy. It is simple to make, and you don’t need a food processor or hand mixer. The key is that the butter is COLD. I cut it into small cubes and keep it in a freezer for 10 minutes which is much simpler to incorporate into the flour mixture. The almond cream or Frangipane is simple to prepare, and you can make it a day ahead with only a few ingredients. Spread the almond cream over the prebaked pie crust which adds a wonderful flavor, but it also acts as a shield to prevent the apple juices from penetrating into the crust. I am using a 24cm round and removable pie try or tart pan for making this apple tart. It is one of the staple pieces of equipment in my kitc...

Crispy Fried Noodles Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce

I don’t want to blow my own horn, but I’m determined to do everything I can to make you want to try these meatballs. These meatballs are coated with SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chili paste is the major component of making the sauce. Apart from using this paste to make the sauce for the meatballs. You can also use it for other dishes like stir-fries with French beans, spread over cucumber or bread, or sometimes use it to pair with fried noodles. The paste itself is sweet with some spiciness. I am using two types of dried chilies to make the paste, one type is mild, and the type is extremely hot dried chilies. Bear in mind that the smaller they are, the hotter they are. My meatballs contain glass noodles inside and outside of them. If you're not familiar with the idea of adding noodles to meatballs, let me convince you as to why it's a great idea. The noodles get crispy outside after frying.   So, you don’t need to mess up with panko or any other breading. Glass nood...
