Ginger milk curd/pudding is a smooth custard-like dessert. It is commonly found in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macau. This traditional dessert is made only with matured ginger, fresh milk and sugar.

The method of preparation is fairly simple, extract juice from ginger and pour in hot milk. The optimum temperature for curdling is 70°C-80°C.

One of the keys to the success of milk curdling is the amount of starch in ginger. A thin layer of ginger starch will settle at the bottom of the bowl after setting aside for a few minutes. The milk will not set firmly if the amount of ginger starch is too low.
