♥ Ginger Milk Pudding 薑汁撞奶 ♥

薑汁撞奶, ginger milk pudding (aka ginger milk curd), is a traditional Chinese dessert made of ginger juice, buffalo milk and additional sugar to taste. They curd without any solidifying agents, neither agar nor gelatine. So what makes the fat and protein in milk to solidify as such custard-like pudding? This is simple. It is the starch that naturally exist in ginger. 

Apart from the ginger, milk will be the next important component for this dessert. Here I used this pasteurized hokkaido milk. You may need several attempt to figure out the right temperature, and I found 80 C will do the trick.

To see if your milk curdled, slip a spoon lightly on top and see if it falls!

Make 3 bowls
You'll need
500ml Hokkaido milk
9 teaspoons freshly squeezed juices from ginger roots
6 teaspoons raw sugar

How to make ginger milk pudding (薑汁撞奶):

1. Divide prepared ginger juices equally among bowls. Let stand for 5 minutes.
2. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, heat milk and sugar until dissolve and slightly bubble. Off fire, and rest for 3 minutes.
3. Immediately pour milk into each bowl in one go. Without moving or touching, leave bowls alone for 10 minutes. Best served hot.

♥ Banana & Nutella Mini Bundt Cake ♥

I have recently bought a silicon mini bundt cake case. It is very convenient without the need to grease + flour the pan when making bundt cakes. I have thought of baking red velvet, chocolate or lemon bundt cake.  But staring at that bunch of bananas for weeks, they finally came over-ripped! Woohoo! Time for some banana cake!

Banana bread / cake is always best to serve warm, or with some chocolate. I swirled some Nutella spread in the recipe and voila~ they turn out perfect. If you're eating banana & Nutella toast for breakfast, you should make these for a little twist for a bright morning.

Make 12 mini bundt cakes
You'll need:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 eggs, at room temperature
4 bananas, mashed
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup Nutella

How to make banana mini bundt cakes:

1. Preheat oven to 180C. Grease and flour bundt pans if not using silicon style. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set side.
3. In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, mashed bananas, sugar, oil. Whisk well. Add dry ingredients to the wet, and fold until well combined. 
4. Separate 1/4 of batter in a medium bowl and add Nutella, stir until it turns chocolatey.
5. Divide cake batter between mini bundt, followed by chocolate batter. Swirl with butter knife.
6. Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into centre comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in pan and turn upside down on wire rack to cool completely.
   (You may want to serve warm at this stage, sprinkle with icing sugar if desired.)
