How to Make Ginger Milk Curd (No-Sugar Version) – 薑汁撞奶 (無糖版）
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.

- 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。

- 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.
