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

Lazy dumplings for breakfast

  In our house, when the kids were little, this dumpling was the best breakfast option. Compared to traditional dumplings, this is considerably delicious, healthier, and easier. Having those lazy dumplings made and ready to re-steam for ten minutes as breakfast for kids or adults makes a big difference during the school weekday morning rush. My family will never tire of eating it every day. Family members will occasionally ask to have it made for lunch or perhaps dinner. The dumpling wrapper is the main ingredient in this delicious treat. I'm using store-bought dumpling wrappers since I want to make this dish as simple as possible. It was purchased from the market. It has a completely different filling than the pan-fried Japanese dumplings called gyoza. It has black fungus and scrambled eggs in it.   Egg gives a simple and nutritious breakfast choice. Black fungus has relatively high protein and fiber.   One thing good about this lazy dumpling is you don’t have to pleats along th

Osmanthus fried wings (桂花翅)

Whenever I went to a wedding meal. The first "Hot and Cold" dish, particularly the scrambled eggs with shark fin and crab meats, is always devoured by the diners. It turns out that it goes by the extremely lovely name of osmanthus Wings ( 桂花翅 ). Due to the propaganda to protect sharks. The restaurant no longer serves this dish with shark fins. In Hong Kong, osmanthus fried wings with sweet-scented osmanthus are a unique meal. You can find interesting names for their items on the menu if you ever pay attention to it. when you order something only to discover that it is not what you ordered. This meal is comparable to another one called "ants on the tree,” ( 蚂蚁上树 ) which is stir-fried vermicelli with minced pork. Originally, Osmanthus fried wings are not using real shark fins, but imitation shark fins which are replaced by vegetarian fins are made of gelatin, or you may also substitute with vermicelli. The scrambled egg looks like osmanthus fragrans, so it is called os
