Tau Huay, also known as tofu pudding, is a beloved dessert in Singapore that features silky smooth tofu served with a sweet syrup.
This delightful treat has its roots in Chinese cuisine and has been enjoyed by generations for its light and refreshing taste.
To make Tau Huay, start by soaking soybeans overnight, then blend them with water to create a smooth mixture. Add gypsum powder to help the tofu set, and allow it to cool until it reaches a silky consistency.
Once the tofu is ready, it is typically served with a sweet syrup made from sugar and water, often infused with ginger for an extra kick of flavor.
Customization is key with Tau Huay. Some people like to add toppings such as red beans, peanuts, or even a drizzle of coconut milk to enhance the taste and texture.
In Singapore, Tau Huay is often enjoyed as a dessert or a light snack, and it can be served warm or chilled depending on personal preference.
While Tau Huay is a delicious and comforting dish, it is important to enjoy it in moderation due to its sugar content. However, it is also a good source of protein and low in calories, making it a relatively healthy dessert option.
