Ginger Milk Curd
One serving has 207 kcal and 6 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of cobalamin (34%), riboflavin (29%), phosphorus (23%) and calcium (21%). Ready in 15 minutes.

- Preparation: 10 min
- Cooking: 5 min
- Makes: 1 serving (225 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
- Contains: dairy
Ingredients
- 180 g Milk, whole
- 25 g Ginger, fresh
- 20 g Sugar
Method
- Grate the ginger finely and squeeze through a cloth or sieve to extract about a tablespoon of fresh ginger juice; pour it into a serving bowl.
- Heat the milk with the sugar until it just reaches a gentle boil, then remove from the heat and let it cool for about 30 seconds to just below boiling.
- Pour the hot milk into the bowl with the ginger juice from a height in one steady pour, without stirring.
- Let it sit undisturbed for 5-10 minutes; the ginger's enzymes will set the milk into a soft, silky curd.
- Serve warm, straight from the bowl.
