Instructions

1

Warm milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat with sugar and a pinch of salt, stirring until sugar fully dissolves.

2

Heat until steaming but do not allow the milk to boil.

3

Meanwhile, use a large spoon to gently scoop silken tofu into four bowls — aim for soft, rounded spoonfuls.

4

Carefully ladle the warm sweet milk around and over the tofu in each bowl.

5

Serve immediately while the milk is warm and the tofu is cool — the temperature contrast is part of the pleasure.

💡 Chef's Tip

Add a drop of vanilla extract or a sliver of fresh ginger to the milk while warming for a fragrant upgrade; a drizzle of brown sugar syrup (gula melaka) over the top is even better.
