I'm not sure why it took so long. Fish sauce really upped the flavor game too. Also, not being afraid of salt. Yes you can over salt the things, but if it's missing something add a little salt.
I will have to try this pudding, I hate instant and on occasion we want a dessert. 👀
Easy.
3 cups milk
1 large egg
2 fat tbsp corn starch
Sugar to taste usually ½ to ¾ cup.
Put 2 cups of milk & sugar into a pot, you want to bring it almost to a boil, but not quite.
While that's heating up whisk the remaining milk, egg & cornstarch, get the egg well combined.
Once the milk & sugar is heated drop it's temperature down to low, and temper the egg mixture by slowly pouring in about 1½ cups of the milk & sugar while whisking vigorously. You don't want the egg to set.
Pour the results of that back into the pot, giving it a good mix while you do so.
If you want flavours, add them now.
Turn the heat back up, and let it get almost back up to a boil, stirring occasionally. Drop it to a simmer for 3-5 minutes or until it nicely coats a spoon, then let cool. It will further thicken.
Good with cocoa or vanilla for flavour, and it's also good plain over fresh or frozen fruit.
