Cantonese Milk Pudding

Prep Time: 5 minutes         Cook Time: 15 minutes 

Equipment: Steamer, Mixing Bowl, Measuring cup/spoons, mesh strainer, ramikan or shallow bowl

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 large egg whites
• 3 drops vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Desired toppings: granola, fresh fruit, etc.

Instructions:

1. Prepare a steamer with water and bring it to a boil.
2. Add sugar to egg whites and thoroughly beat the egg whites in a large mixing bowl, ensuring sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Slowly stir in the milk mixture and the vanilla extract. Mix to combine
4. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer, making sure to eliminate all bubbles and pour into three separate heatproof serving bowls  (3-4 inches in diameter).                                                                                                       
5. Cover each serving bowl with foil. Then carefully place them in the steamer once the water is boiling. Steam for 7-10 minutes (steaming time will depend on the size of your serving bowls. If they’re wider and shallower, and the pudding is more spread out, steam for minutes. If they’re smaller, steam a bit longer). Turn off the heat and let the puddings sit for 10 minutes before serving.
6. Serve warm or chilled with your favorite toppings
