Tofu Fa (Tofu Custard)

Step 1

Method:

Step 2

Bring unsweetened soya milk to a boil. Be cautious as soya milk will easily overflow when it boils.

Step 3

Put gypsum powder and potato starch into 100 ml water. Stir thoroughly. Put them in a large bowl.

Step 4

When the soya milk boils, foaming rapidly, pour into the gypsum powder and potato starch water, about 1 foot above. This action will make all the ingredients mix together automatically and nicely. Don’t move it or stir the mixture after pouring in the boiling soya milk. Cover it with a cloth to absorb steam as the picture shows. Let it stay for 40-45 minutes. The soya milk will settle to be smooth and yummy tofu fa.

Step 5

Heat a sauce pan to melt some rock sugar to your taste. You can also add 2-3 pieces of ginger if you like (a traditional way to prepare syrup for tofu fa).

Step 6

When the tofu fa is done, add syrup and/or dark brown sugar and serve.. Enjoy !
