Pudding
Gelatin powder, fish gelatin powder, agar (kanten), gelatin sheets, and mousse powder (mushi powder), jelly powder, pudding powder, etc., are all agents that cause solidification. Gelatin powder, fish gelatin powder, and gelatin sheets are the most common.
Among them, gelatin sheets are the best. They are made from extracts of animal cartilage and have a shelf life of about 4 years (general powdered ingredients only have 12-18 months), and are also the most expensive. However, gelatin sheets have a certain fishy smell and often need to be used with rum or other alcohols.
Fish gelatin powder is mainly extracted from fish bones and has the strongest fishy smell among the four, requiring even more the use of alcohol. As for gelatin, there is edible gelatin and industrial gelatin. When buying, it is best to choose edible gelatin powder that is specifically used as a food additive. Agar is extracted from seaweed, and the finished product has slightly less elasticity, making it more suitable for things like cold cakes. Mousse powder (mushi powder), jelly powder, pudding powder, etc.
These are all relatively professional, post-processed powders that are also quite convenient to use. (You might only find them in supermarkets, food additive stores, chemical stores, etc.)
When making pudding, you must choose a good oven. Otherwise, even if you follow the recipe, the results can be vastly different. Choose an oven that doesn't absorb too much moisture; otherwise, the outside of the pudding will be burnt while the inside is still runny.
