Almond Soya Beancurd
Almond Soya Beancurd Pudding
Latest Status: This is a scheduled recipe while I’m on vacation until 25 July 2012. ~ wiffy
After I successfully made soya beancurd pudding, my family asked for almond flavoured beancurd, which is a popular variation you can order besides the original soya flavour. My family told me to use the bottled almond syrup which is commonly sold at all local major supermarkets. Before this, I do not even know that this almond syrup existed. I was skeptical at first, but after adding just a tbsp to the basic recipe, the beancurd pudding indeed tasted similar to the almond beancurd pudding sold outside. I have no idea if this is what the stalls do for the almond flavour, but it is definitely an effortless trick that worked for me.

Sure looks easy for me. Seem like lots of bloggers are making this.
This is such a clever short cut
Wish we got those ingredients easily over here. Looks so easy!
Thanks for this wonderful almond beancurd recipe.
Just wonder why do we need to use 2 different brands of soybean powder.
Can I just use Polleney as I already have it in my house.
How do I make changes to this recipe as I hope not to buy the Unisoy beancurd for the time being becos I want to finish up my polleney soyabean powder. Thank you
Hi, the recipe calls for two brands of soy milk powder combined, as the recipe it is adapted from was trying to mimick Lao Ban’s taste. You can definitely use only one type (Polleney) if you like, it will work as I have tried before. Check out this link & the comments for more information: http://www.noobcook.com/soya-beancurd/
I have seen this around too. Looks pretty good to me…
I grew up with this almond syrup. Better than those essence I personally feel.
thank you so much ^_^
happy nice day
Omg that’s one of my all time favorite Asian desserts. Use to have it when I was younger.
Hi Noob, why must use 2 types of soy milk powder?
Hi Noris, check out the explanation at the comments of this recipe. Thanks :)
Hi,
Is it to cling wrap the bowl of bean curd when chilling in fridge?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Yes, correct.
Hi there,
thanks for sharing the recipe. I have waited over two hours and the beancurd still has not set. im not sure what’s gone wrong. Any advice?
Hi mookie, wait a while longer. If still not set, add more jelly powder next time.
Hi,
Thanks for the recipe. I tried it twice but both attempts didn’t get the bean curd to solidify to the consistency like Lao Ban’s. I used slightly more instant jelly powder the second time around. :( The taste is almost there but it’s just too soft.
Hi,
why do you need to sieve 4 times for the almond soya beancurd? tks
Instead of using the soya bean powder, I made the pudding with freshly made soy milk made in Joyoung Soy Milk Maker. It is so smooth and yummy. Just love the taste of almond. Thanks for your recipe.
Hi Suzie,
Can you share yours method of using freshly made soy milk which made in Joyoung Soy Milk Maker. I’ve this Joyoung Soy Milk Maker also. Thank you.
