Mango Pudding



A popular restaurant in Ipoh has recently introduced Mango Pudding as dessert in their menu.  It has received very encouraging response from its customers.  This dessert has to be pre-ordered as it's not readily available daily.  Much depends on the availability and quality of this tropical fruit from their suppliers.

This is my second attempt as the first time, the pudding didn't set at all even after being chilled overnight.  Fortunately, I stumbled upon this recipe from  redcook  and I'm very satisfied with the result.  I tweaked it somewhat and substituted evaporated milk with soymilk.










Recipe for Mango Pudding

Ingredients
1 cup hot water
1 cup evaporated milk/soymilk  ( I used this)
3/4 oz gelatine
1.1/2 cups mango puree

2 oz granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh mangoes  -  optional
(cut into 1/4 inch cubes)

Preparation

Heat up the cup of water

Add mango puree and stir well
Strain the mango mixture into ramekin
Discard the residue
Chill overnight
Serve as it is or with fruits as desired

  14. I make mango pudding using fresh milk instead of soymilk and no sugar added. After tasting it, I was surprised that there was no mango flavor smell and no sweet at all. Why? Should I add sugar to enhance the flavor?

    1. You mean you expected the sweetness to come from the mangoes? You added water and milk, so even if the mangoes are very sweet, the sweetness will be diluted. You must add in sugar as stated in the recipe.

    2. Ok. I will try to add sugar. I worry about the mango flavour and the fragrant. Wondering if sugar help if added?

Double Boiled Herbal Chicken Soup

Double boiling is slow cooking ........ means to put a soup pot or any covered ceramic or steel pot inside a bigger pot, immerse in boiling water, and let the soup cook at a lower temperature.  Hence the soup is cooked from heat generated from the boiling water and not from direct heat source. Double boiling lets the soup ingredients slowly release their nutrients into the soup, thus making it tasty and wholesome.  It's a long cooking process, roughly averaging 2 to 4 hours.  The tip is not to open the cover to check on the soup as it'll bring down the temperature and affect the cooking process.  The plus point is there's little evaporation and the soup will not boil over.  The only thing is to monitor that there's enough water in the bigger pot and not let it run dry.  Of course, nowadays, the slow cooker is another alternative to double boiling, saves the hassle of checking the water level.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.
