Steamed Milk Custard with Coconut milk and Ginger (Dun Nai)

Doing something good for my throat today by using up my egg white to make steamed milk custard. I'm adding ginger and some coconut milk for a nice flavor. It is so soft and silky just like eating tofu custard (tofu fa). This can be eaten hot or cold. I like it hot to soothe my throat and cough! 😋😋😋

lightly stir whites

Strain the mixture

Ingredients:

1 cup milk
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 large egg whites
45 g sliced ginger (if want intense ginger flavor then blend and squeeze out juice)
3 tbsp sugar

3-- 6 oz bowls

Method:

1. Heat water for steamer.

2. Boil the coconut milk with ginger and sugar. Remove from heat and slowly add in the cold milk. Remove the ginger. Using clean hands, try to squeeze out the ginger juice.

3. Lightly stir egg white. Keep on stirring when pouring milk mixture into egg white. When almost all egg whites dissolve then strain again. Careful not to beat too hard to cause bubbles. Strain twice.

4. Pour the milk into 3 bowls and then cover with aluminum foil. Steam on medium heat for 20 minutes. Do not have high steam as this can cause bubbling and not smooth texture.

5. Serve hot or chilled.
