In this video, I am showing how to make “Purin“ or Japanese style Custard Pudding or in some places called as "Flan." The cooking process takes no more than 30 min. plus cooling time of 2-5 hours.
In my Channel, I show step by step of alternative but authentic Japanese home cooking, which can be made with the ingredients that are easily available outside of Japan.
Ingredients for Putin (3 Portions): Egg 2 Sugar 2-3 Tbsp Milk 200 ml (g) Heavy cream 100 ml (g) (this recipe can be made without cream, in which case use 300 ml of milk.) Caramel sauce: - Sugar 3 Tbsp - Water 2 Tbsp
Welcome to Taiji's Kitchen!
Today I'm going to show you how to make pudding, or Japanese custard pudding.
So this pudding is a very popular sweet in Japan.
If you have seen Japanese anime, you would see that this appears quite often.
Or also my other video, Japanese Packaging, I'm showing a very popular puchin pudding.
And it's sold pretty much everywhere.
Every convenience store would have these, definitely.
And most cake shops as well.
And one day I just wanted to really eat pudding.
But of course I don't have any access here, so I just gave it a try myself.
And it was actually quite very easy.
There's no really difficult process.
You just have to get the ingredients together, and mix it, and let it cook, and just wait.
And the product is definitely worth the effort.
So I hope you enjoy the video, and I hope you give this a try yourself.
Then, let's get started!
Here are the ingredients for making Japanese pudding.
So I have here two eggs, sugar, and just regular milk.
For this recipe I would avoid skim milk, but whatever milk you have is fine.
I like the variation with a heavy cream.
Because this will give very creamy, very smooth texture.
And also with a rich flavor.
So I like this variation.
But of course you can make without it.
And then you would just need three ingredients.
That may be just easy for you.
Then let's get cooking!
Now is the first thing we're going to make a caramel.
And so for that in a small pot.
I'm going to put in three tablespoons of sugar.
And then also one teaspoon of water.
Then we're going to turn the heat to medium, and bring this to boil.
And as you're doing this, make sure you're mixing.
Otherwise the bottom will get burnt.
And once this comes to boil, I'm going to turn the heat to low.
And keep heating this with low heat for three to five minutes or so.
Until the sugar will get started to get brown and caramelized.
So as you see that the color has a little browned up a little bit.
And then here I'm going to put in one more tablespoon of water.
Then with that we have a caramel like this.
Then we're going to distribute these caramel in these kind of containers.
Where you're going to make the pudding.
And then that's done for that.
And then we're going to put this aside and let it cool off.
So as the next thing we're going to make the egg mixture.
For that in a bowl, I'm going to crack in the eggs.
And then in this I'm going to put in two to three tablespoons of sugar.
Depending on how sweet you want it.
Today I'm going to put in two and a half or so.
Then we're going to lightly mix this.
Just like that.
As the next thing we're going to measure the milk and the cream.
For this recipe it's better to warm up the milk a little bit.
So that the sugar will dissolve better.
So I'm going to measure in the milk in a pot.
For this I'm going to measure in 200 milliliter.
Which is about 200 gram of milk.
Perfect.
Then here I'm going to put in about 100 gram of cream.
All right good enough.
So like I said in the beginning you don't have to put in cream.
If you don't want to make it too complicated.
Or if you're on a diet or something.
Then you can make it this everything with milk.
Which means 300 gram of milk.
Then we're going to turn the heat to medium.
And then slightly warm up the milk.
And make sure you're kind of mixing right on then.
So it's enough to heat up for about a minute or so.
Then as the milk has been warmed up.
We're going to put this in the eggs.
Don't put all the milk directly in the eggs.
Otherwise the eggs will be cooked.
So you want to keep mixing the egg like this.
And you want to put in the milk just step by step.
Just like that for a little bit.
Then keep mixing the egg.
And a little bit more.
A bit more.
Then this is finished for the egg mixture.
So in these forms we're going to put in the egg mixture.
So as you can see caramel has solidified in the bottom like this.
This is perfect.
And as we put in here we're going to use a strainer like this.
So the texture will be smooth.
So then this looks perfect.
Now we're going to steam this.
So in a big pot like this.
I have about one centimeter depth of water.
Here we're going to put in the cups.
Before we do that we're going to put in a little bit of aluminum foil over it.
Just cover it up like this.
This is to avoid the water drops dropping into the cups.
Then we're going to cover it up.
And then we're going to cook like this for about 15 to 20 minutes.
So we're going to set a timer for 15 minutes first.
We're going to steam this for 15 minutes and simmer.
This is very important that the heat is on the lowest setting.
Otherwise you have like a really puffed up and won't have a very good texture.
So 15 minutes has passed.
Let's see how it looks inside.
You'll tell if it's finished.
I'm going to use a toothpick like this or something.
And then I'm going to poke a hole.
I think this middle part is a little bit still rare.
So I'm going to cover this up again.
And cook for another two to three minutes or so.
So another two minutes passed.
Oh yeah I think this is finished.
I'm going to turn heat off.
Now let's take these out.
Then these are finished.
Looks really good jiggly like this.
Then I'm going to put the cover back on and let it cool down.
And then once it's cooled off I'm going to put in the fridge
and let it cool down for at least a couple hours.
Then it'll be ready to be eaten.
I've cooled this in the fridge for five hours now.
Then let's take this out of the form.
So I usually use a knife like this.
And then just kind of first just the surface off like this.
And then you stick it in all the way.
And then I'm going to roll the cup like this.
You can already see the caramel coming out.
And then using any kind of plate cover it like this and then flip over.
Usually it doesn't come out on its own.
I'm gonna have to shake it.
Hear that?
So that's when it's finished.
I'm going to open it.
Oh yeah this looks really great.
Let's get the last drop of the caramel.
Then this is finished pudding.
Let's eat.
Oh this pudding looks so delicious.
And let's eat.
Oh look at that.
It looks so great.
Perfectly made.
Oh this is so perfect.
So creamy yet the flavor is so rich.
And it's a little bit bitterness of the caramel.
It's just perfect.
So good.
Oh so flavorful and so rich.
Oh that was so delicious.
So as you saw making this pudding is actually not that very difficult.
And getting that really small heat for steaming might be the most difficult part.
It did take me a couple tries to get that right amount of heat.
But it's primarily for the looks.
However it may look, the flavor is always pretty delicious.
So if you want to enjoy this pudding, I suggest you give it a try yourself.
