INGREDIENTS
Serves 2
4 tsp fresh ginger juice (see note)
160 ml whole milk (if you re lactose intolerant, use lactose free milk; it will
not work with non-dairy beverages like soy milk)
40 ml evaporated milk (for a lighter, softer pudding, just omit evaporated milk
and substitute the same amount of milk)
Sugar, to taste (I use about 2 tsp)
Note: To get 4 tsp of juice, make sure you start out with at least 3 inches of
ginger root to be safe. This recipe will work with slightly more or less ginger
juice, so you can try playing around with different proportions if you prefer a
milder/stronger ginger flavour. However, after a certain point, it will not
work because there will either be too little ginger to set the pudding, or the
ginger juice and will dilute the milk too much. I don t know what the limits
are cuz I haven t tried out all possibilities, so if you find out, let me know!
INSTRUCTIONS
Grate the ginger using a fine grater, or chop and blend in a food processor or
blender. Squeeze the ginger juice out either by pressing the grated ginger
through a fine mesh sieve, or wrap it in cheese cloth and wring it out like I
did in the video. (I find I get more juice out with the cheese cloth method.)
Discard the fibre. (Tip: do not juice the ginger ahead of time as the enzymes
will die off as the juice sits, and it won t set the pudding)
Stir the ginger juice well as you ll notice that the starch in the ginger juice
settles very quickly and add 2 tsp of ginger juice into each of the serving
cup.
Combine the milk, evaporated milk, and sugar in a heat-proof container (best to
use a spouted container for easy pouring) and microwave just until it starts to
steam. Use an instant-read thermometer and check the temperature. You want the
temperature to be around 70 C-75 C (although I ve had success with temperatures
from 65 C 80 C without noticing a significant difference in firmness).
Once the milk reaches the temperature, stir the ginger juice in the serving up
to make sure the starch is not settling at the bottom, then quickly pour half
the milk mixture (100 ml) into the cup. Repeat with the other cup. Let the
pudding set for 5 minutes without disturbing them!
