Very silky and smooth pudding made from soybeans. Served with a ginger-sugar syrup

Today we will learn how to make tofu pudding, tofu fa 豆腐花. Tofu pudding is a popular chinese pudding. Chinese tofu pudding is also known as Douhua 豆花, dou fu hua, soybean pudding or tofu brains.

What is Chinese tofu pudding?

Chinese tofu pudding is a very silky and smooth pudding made from soybeans. It’s like a tofu custard. Since it’s made with soybeans it can be a very healthy snack. Soy Bean pudding can be eaten hot, cold, savory or sweet.

My favorite way to serve this tofu pudding is tofu pudding with ginger syrup, which I will be showing you how to make as well. I like to eat my ginger tofu dessert hot which makes it a nice comfort snack. Nothing is better than a hot silky smooth pudding during the cold weather.

You might have seen the instant tofu pudding packets from the store. I used to buy those all the time when growing up. Freshly made tofu pudding tastes way better because you can adjust the sweetness and you can also make it savory!

Today we will learn 2 different methods on how to make tofu pudding. The first method will be the pouring method. The pouring method is perfect for when you make a fresh batch of soymilk. Don’t worry if you don’t have fresh hot soy milk. In the second method we will be using cold soy milk and we will be using the steaming method. There are also different coagulants you can use to make tofu pudding. The coagulant we will be using is glucono delta lactone (GDL) , tofu pudding without gypsum.
