I was born and raised in Hong Kong. After getting married, I moved to Canada with my husband. Spending time in the kitchen cooking for my husband and my son is a type of happiness to me. Mimicking my childhood flavour in this foreign land brings me comfort. My priority of life is to stay healthy - think healthy, eat healthy, and live healthy. I am also a foraging enthusiast and the author of this blog.
This is a dessert that suddenly appeared in my head when I laid in the bed last night. I remembered there was a bag of ground sesame in the pantry, and I knew it would go perfectly for this rich and smooth goodie. However, it was absolutely crazy to sneak into the kitchen to make this pudding at 2 am. So, I waited until this morning.
It is a very simple recipe that I call "toss 'n stir". Keep in mind that after you toss everything in a saucepan, you need to give the gluey mixture a good stir to make sure there is no lumps of ground sesame remains. Enjoy!
Vegan Sesame Pudding
全素黑芝麻布甸
Ingredients: (yield about 3-4 portions)
2.5 tablespoons Ground Black Sesame (find it in Asian market)
The reason I love this soy milk pudding is simply because its flavour is very similar to the traditional dessert "Tofu Fa" that I grew up with. Tofu fa requires gypsum powder to curd the soy milk, but I can't find any access to this unusual ingredient here. So, the use of agar agar becomes the alternative.
Agar agar gives a firmer texture to the pudding but it doesn't affect the taste of the soy. Make it out of any cute mould you have to surprise your little one.
