I dissolved it in 1 tablespoon of hot water and let cool before I added the cornstarch. It's too little liquid to heat it past boiling for 10 minutes.

Need your opinion. I tried the tou-foo fa recipe. The only thing I did differently was I "boiled" the gypsum paste in the microwave oven for 10 minutes, because the instruction on the package warned that the gypsum had to be heated past boiling for 10 minutes. The result was the soy milk coagulated,but not into a smooth mass; looked more like "curdled" milk. Does the gypsum have to be heated as the manufacturer warns? Hello? Need your opinion.

I do not know what can be substituted for this recipe. The closest is gelatin but the texture will be different, i.e. more like jello.

If you like it gingery, add a knob of ginger, lightly smash to release flavour. If you like you syrup to be thicker, just boil until you get the preferred consistency.

I came upon your site while trying to find some "tong sui" recipes similiar to what my dad made when I was living at home in San Jose, CA - consisting of yams, rock sugar and ginger. Anyway, I saw this recipe and just have to try it! I've always ordered it when eating dim sum at chinese restaurants back in the day. I've since moved to Richmond, VA and the chinese cuisine is scarce. Anyway, hopefully I can find gypsum powder at the best stocked asian grocery around here (which isn't saying much) but my real question... I couldn't find your recipe for the syrup? Could you please email this to me? Keep up the good work! Dear Suanne, I just emailed Ben before realizing you can post comments on this thing!

I found out it is the white stuff in pills, and is a source of calcium in addition to binding puddings. http://www.diamondkgypsum.com/terraalba.html I have never heard of gypsum being used as a food!
