Ginger Milk Curd (薑汁撞奶) is one of the most beloved classic Hong Kong desserts. It may look simple, but once you master the timing and temperature, even first-time cooks can “curdle” it perfectly. This is my no-sugar version – naturally warming, comforting, and healthy.

Equipment

  • 1 saucepan

Ingredients
  

Ingredients 材料(1 serving)

  • 180 ml Whole milk 全脂牛奶 – 180ml
  • 50 g Old ginger 老薑 – about 50g
  • 1-2 teaspoon sugar (optional) if you prefer sweetened version

材料(1 人份量)

  • 全脂牛奶 – 180ml
  • 老薑 – about 50g
  • 糖 - 1至兩茶匙 (隨意)

Instructions
 

Instructions:

  • Grate the ginger and squeeze to extract about 1 tablespoon of juice. Place into a small bowl.
  • Heat milk until just steaming (small bubbles on the edge), then turn off the heat.
  • Swirl the pot gently to slightly lower the milk temperature.
  • Quickly pour the milk into the ginger juice bowl. Do not stir. Cover and let sit 5–10 minutes.
  • Enjoy while warm.

做法:

  • 把老薑磨成蓉並壓汁,取約 1 湯匙,放碗中備用。
  • 加熱牛奶至冒煙,有邊泡即可熄火,切勿煮滾。
  • 搖晃鍋身幫助降溫。
  • 快速將熱奶撞入薑汁碗中,蓋上碟子,靜置 5–10 分鐘即可。
  • 趁熱享用。

Notes

🔹 Yves Tips!

  • Use old ginger only – the starch sediment is essential for successful curdling.
  • Do not boil the milk – steaming is enough.
  • Gently swirling or “pulling” the milk is simply to bring down the temperature.
