How to Make Soy Milk Pudding: A Simple Guide

Soy milk pudding, or "dou ru he zi," is a beloved, creamy dessert that’s easy to make with just a few ingredients. Here’s a basic recipe plus creative twists to suit your taste.

Basic Recipe:

Start by gathering 500ml fresh soy milk, 40g sugar (adjust to sweetness), and 3g agar powder (or 15g gelatin for a softer set). Gently heat the soy milk and sugar in a saucepan until warm, stirring to dissolve the sugar. In a small bowl, mix agar powder with 2 tablespoons cold water until dissolved, then stir into the soy milk. Simmer on low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the agar fully dissolves. Avoid boiling to prevent clumping. Pour the mixture into small containers or molds, let cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.

Creative Variations:

For fruit flavor, blend in 2 tablespoons mashed mango or strawberry before heating. Matcha lovers can whisk in 5g matcha powder for a vibrant green version. To add texture, layer diced fruits or crushed nuts like almonds or walnuts at the bottom of the molds before pouring the mixture. For a richer taste, substitute 100ml of soy milk with coconut milk.

Serving Tips:

Enjoy it plain or top with fresh berries, honey, or a drizzle of caramel. These puddings are perfect as a light dessert or a healthy snack. With endless flavor combinations, soy milk pudding is a versatile treat that’s both simple and delicious!
