one of my favorite chinese dessert (Do fu hua)

Tofu pudding is a popular Chinese dessert. It is made with very soft tofu. It is referred to as tofu pudding.
In mainland china we eat tofu pudding with sweet ginger or clear syrup. In Taiwan, tofu pudding is served with sweet toppings like cooked peanuts, beans, tapioca, nuts and etc.
Tofu pudding is usually serve in the morning and afternoon. In the summer we eat tofu pudding cold and in the winter, it is served warm.
I love tofu pudding because it is very yummy and after eating it, it feels great and icy. we usually buy tofu pudding in a small Chinese cuisine. However it is relatively easy to make. This is the  recipe.

Ingredients:
  • 11 ounces (about 1 lb) soy beans
  • water for soaking beans
  • 7 cups water
  • edible terra alba* (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Syrup: 
  • 10 ounces sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 pieces lemon or a little vinegar
