Ginger milk curd, a silky Cantonese dessert, charms with its smooth texture and spicy-sweet balance. Here’s a failproof method to create this delightful treat at home.
Ingredients: 500ml full-fat milk (fresh, not UHT), 3 tbsp ginger juice (from 100g fresh ginger), 1 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste), a pinch of salt.
Steps:
1. Prepare Ginger Juice: Peel and grate ginger, then squeeze juice through a cheesecloth. Set aside (use immediately for best results).
2. Heat Milk: Gently warm milk in a saucepan over low heat until steaming (70–80°C). Do not boil. Stir in sugar and salt until dissolved. Let cool for 5 minutes.
3. Combine: Pour ginger juice into a heatproof bowl. Slowly add the warm milk from a height (about 30cm) to mix with air, or stir gently once. Cover immediately and let sit for 10–15 minutes.
Key Tips:
- Milk Temperature: Too hot, and the curd will be grainy; too cool, and it won’t set.
- Freshness: Use fresh ginger and whole milk for optimal curdling.
- No Disturbance: Avoid moving the bowl during setting to ensure a smooth surface.
Serve chilled, garnished with crushed ginger or nuts. Enjoy this comforting, protein-rich dessert that’s both simple and magical!
