Soy Milk Pudding

Soy Milk Pudding is a smooth and creamy Japanese dessert that is both satisfying and rich in protein. This delightful treat is perfect for those seeking a lighter dessert option while enjoying the natural sweetness of soy milk.

Ingredients

• Soy milk - 400 ml
• Agar-agar powder - 1 teaspoon
• Maple syrup - 2 tablespoons
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. In a small saucepan, combine 100 ml of soy milk and the agar-agar powder. Let it sit for 5 minutes to hydrate.
2. After 5 minutes, place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the agar-agar is completely dissolved, about 3-5 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt with the remaining soy milk (300 ml).
4. Once the agar-agar mixture is ready, gradually add it to the soy milk mixture while continuously whisking to avoid lumps.
5. Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 7-10 minutes.
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the pudding mixture into two serving bowls or molds.
7. Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
8. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh fruit or a drizzle of additional maple syrup.
