Easy 10-minute Chinese Tofu Pudding
Description
The recipe begins by boiling water with fresh ginger slices and two types of sugar — yellow rock sugar and brown sugar — which dissolve to form a fragrant, mildly spiced syrup. After the sugars melt completely, the syrup is simmered gently to meld the flavors.
Silken tofu, chilled and soft, is carefully divided into individual serving bowls. Once the sweet ginger syrup is ready, it is ladled over the tofu, creating a dessert with a contrast of textures and temperatures: cold, smooth tofu beneath the warm, sweet ginger liquid. The ginger adds a subtle warmth and mild spiciness that complements the pudding’s mildness.
Serve immediately for the best experience. Alternatively, it can be served cold. This simple dessert showcases delicate textures and uncomplicated flavors common in Chinese cuisine, offering an accessible way to enjoy tofu in a sweet form.
Ingredients
- 2 lb silken tofu or soft tofu/plain dessert silken tofu (chilled)
- 3 cups water cold

- 3 tablespoon brown sugar light or dark brown sugar both work
- 5 lices ginger
Instructions
- In a small pot, add water and bring it a boil. Then add ginger slices, yellow rock sugar and brown sugar. Mix, cover and reduce to a rolling simmer on low-medium heat for 10 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved completely.
- Then scoop layers of the chilled silken tofu with a large spoon dividing between five small bowls.
- Once the sweet broth is ready, ladle equal parts into each bowl. Enjoy immediately or you can also serve this cold.
