But I prefer the sweetened one and use less syrup. Hi Spire, the original soy pudding should be made from unsweetened soy milk bacause the soy pudding will be served with syrup.

You can use the unsweetened one as you'll be adding sweetener when you eat the Tou Foo Fa. I use the sweetened one because I like to drink the soy milk too.

By this, I mean do you use the soy milk sold in English supermarkets - those which are thicker (eg. So Good) or those in Chinese supermarkets (which are usually sweetened or unsweetened) and does it matter if it is sweetened or flavoured? Hi Suanne,

But I think you can try to reduce the coagulant as the original recipe actually calls for 1 teaspoon only. It just that after few tries, I find that 1 1/2 teaspoons works for me.

Especially since the syrup is 'nothing' but sugar. Figuratively speaking. And there's nt much nutritional value to speak of. w/O the syrup, it's not baddd either I guess. XD It’s not VERY healthy.

I find sometimes it does not coagulate well, so I changed the recipe to 1.5 teaspoons of gypsum powder and cornstarch and it works well for me. It is ok that the mixture is runny, do not add extras as it will make it taste bad. The most important step is the pouring of the boiling soy milk into the container with the gypsum powder and cornstarch. The pouring must be vigorous enough to ensure it mixes well. So, place the container in the sink and pour from a height like from 2 feet to create the effect. Good luck.

But again,I failed. When I mix the powder with hot water,it didn't turn into paste n not even thick. So,I put some more powder n flour to make it pasty n thick as u said. After complete every steps, I try it. The taste is so bad. Taste like sour plum. Why was it like that? Where did I do wrong? Is it because of I put too much powder n cornflour in it? Help me,please.
