✨Magic Ginger Milk Curd -- Sets Up Without Eggs or Starch -- Easy Right? 😞

  • Опубликовано: 24 мар 2021
  • Ginger milk curd is a Chinese dessert that contains only 3 ingredients: milk, ginger juice and sugar. These three ingredients are SUPPOSED to magically gel, forming a delicate pudding-like dessert. (Fresh ginger contains an enzyme that causes the protein in the milk to denature and form a gel. Well, that's the theory at least.) Let's try it out! #gingermilkcurd #emmymade

    The trick is that the ginger root itself can't be fresh, it has to be an older piece of ginger. But then you grate it before you use it. The only other thing I can think of is the milk. When I lived in SoCal I noticed that the milk seemed rather thin and watery compared to the milk in British Columbia, and I suspected that the protein content was low. I've tried cheating this recipe by stirring in a little bit of milk powder, but the texture comes out gritty. I've seen some rather suspiciously firm examples on YT in which I think they cheated by mixing in gelatin.

    Hello Emmy!
    I'm sorry it did not work as well for you so I quickly tried to recreate it. And I found out a few things.
    1. You may need to have more ginger. (I used 3 tbps instead of two for 1 cup of milk)
    2. The amount of fat and sugar doesn't matter. (I used 1% milk and added sugar on top at the end)
    Below is the step by step of what I did. Best of success in your ginger milk pudding adventures! ☺❤
    You'll need:
    1 cup 1% Milk (or whole milk if you'd like)
    Sugar (to taste)
    3 tbps of freshly grated ginger * (more about this below)
    Steps:
    1. Put the milk and sugar (if desired) in a microwaveable safe container. (I used a mug) Do NOT Microwave yet.
    2. Finely Grate 1 1/5 inch of ginger.
    3. Put the milk in the microwave for 45 seconds then segments of 30 seconds until the milk is mildly warmer than body temperature.
    4. While microwaving the milk, take the grated ginger and squeeze it out into a bowl.
    5. Take the milk out, stir the ginger and pour the milk in the bowl without stirring further.
    6. Wait 5 minutes, at that point it should be the consistency of extra silky tofu. To test if it worked, place a tablespoon on the pudding and it should support it.
    7. Place in the fridge for 5 more minutes and it should be firmer. The consistency is soft silken tofu and holds its shape better.
    I hope this works out for you! Keep up the wonderful work! ❤

    @robicloud9556 3 года назад +9

    You are almost there! Don’t give up there are some more tricks:
    1. I still recommend heating the milk to 75-80 celsius, when you pour the milk the temp drops quickly, it should be about 70 celsius in the bowl which is the ideal temp for the reaction to happen.
    2. Try to avoid pasteurized and ultra-pasteurized milk, the process affects the milk protein, and will likely prevent the reaction from happening.
    3. Fat and sugar don’t participate in this reaction, so it doesn’t matter how much you put in.
    4. Older ginger has more protease, but I've also seen people make it with younger or smaller ones.
    5. Some recipes add milk powder to increase the protein content, and you will end up with an even firmer curd. Originally the recipe uses buffalo milk, which has higher protein content, but you can absolutely do this with regular milk.

  • @gloriamho
    @gloriamho 3 года назад +27

    When I tried making this dessert in the past, the ginger has typically been the problematic variable. My thoughts after some internet searching... it may be the zingipain (cysteine protease) in the ginger juice which causes the coagulation. Prepare extra ginger juice, then put aside to allow the white powdery substance in the juice to settle to the bottom (the zingipain is likely part of the substance that settles). Decant away some of the extra clear yellow ginger juice and use the bottom portion with the white powdery substance. Stir before distributing the ginger juice among the bowls. You may also try tweaking the ratio - more ginger juice, less milk.
    Credit: decanting the ginger juice was noted by Tony (ruclips.net/video/zLPvdwr1Vi4/видео.html)
    Also consider slightly higher temperature or heat bowl. My “fail” was saved by microwaving 30 seconds... coagulated upon heating.

    Perhaps use “older” ginger & “dribble” the ginger juice into the milk after it is heated, in a “circular” motion. 1...do not add the sugar at all until the milk sets. 2...dissolve the sugar into the ginger juice then into the milk.
    When I make regular yogurt I heat milk to 180°f then let cool to 110°f before I stir in any starter or flavor/sugar. Worth a try to heat & cool before juice or sugar huh?

Enzymes affect very specific organic compounds and I doubt the proteins in vegan milks are similar enough to actual milk proteins to work with the enzyme you're harvesting from the ginger. The only way to be sure though is to test it. Make sure you're got it working with actual milk first, so you have a baseline for comparison.

    I’m Cantonese and I love this dessert. The Cantonese name for this dish roughly translates to ginger juice “hit” milk. As the name suggests, the key is to violently splash hot milk into ginger juice.
    This mixing technique still took me many trails for moderate success, but here’s what I figured out:
    Take two tall glasses (i don’t think material mattered, you want something tall to splash around in). One with ginger juice. One with sweet hot milk. Aggressively pour/splash the milk into the ginger glass. Pour from a height/distance you can handle to make the milk “hit” the ginger as hard as you can. Immediately repeat-pour the mixture back and forth, as violently and quickly as you can, maybe 2-5 times, then immediately pour into your serving bowl. This process should be done within 3 seconds. Then you leave it alone and wait for it to curdle, I think by 5 min you can juggle it to tell if it’s curdling or failed.
    Disclaimer: My best attempt was still a bit watery, but the technique definitely makes a difference and the pudding curdled more as I improved. I also tried extra ginger...
    Here’s how you might visualize it: You know how Indian (?) street venders “pull” tea, and they pour the tea back and forth and even do tricks with the tall, long stream of tea that’s being poured? I was told that it’s not just showmanship, the pouring technique produces certain textures. (Like how kneading a dough makes a difference)
    If you do give this another go, good luck!! I’m so glad you featured this dessert, I nearly forgot about it! When I crave this, I usually do a steamed egg white and milk pudding with sugar and ginger juice. (Equal parts egg white and milk, plus more milk if like it more jiggly. Sugar and ginger to taste.). It’s much easier, a little richer and just as yummy! You could have totally added egg whites and steamed all of those failed attempts, and probably had a bunch of puddings!

      I am Cantonese as well (from HK), I concur with the above comment. In Cantonese it is 薑汁撞奶, ginger juice 'hit' milk. My husband heat up the milk and then do the Teh Terik motion for ten times before pouring the milk into the bowl with the ginger juice. He said it is the only way he has gotten it to work.

      From what I've seen in other comments, you might try doubling or tripling the ginger the next time, or intentionally using older, "stale" ginger. It seems like the ginger is the strict part of the recipe. With enough ginger, stirring it normally might even work.

    I use that deodorant and it is the first natural deodorant that hasn't burned the crap out of my skin! And it really does last a long time!! I love it but its a bit expensive.

      Agreed, the price always sends me spiraling, but it’s the only deodorant I can use so I just grin and bear it 😬

    It worked for me the first time! I did some research which says to avoid pasteurized or evaporated milk because it might denatures the protein which disrupts the coagulation. Fresher the whole milk the better and the original recipe uses water buffalo milk which contains way higher PROTEIN then the milk we get from the store that's why we need to add milk powder if you want a firm result, sugar and fat content doesn't effect the process. I first heat 160g of whole milk with 2drops of vanilla extract, 10g of sugar and 20g of milk powder to 80c and then pour it into a small bowl with 15g of fresh ginger juice. It has a silky tofu texture and wonderful spicy flavor, good luck guys
