Silky Pudding with Ginger Syrup

Ingredients

• 10cm knob fresh ginger, peeled & thinly sliced
• 250g brown sugar
• 125mL water
• 600g silken tofu
• Mint leaves, to garnish

Method

• Place everything except the tofu into a small saucepan and bring to the boil.
• Simmer for 5 mins until the sauce thickens slightly.
• Place the silken tofu on a dish and microwave it on high for 1-2 mins — you want it to be warm but not hot.
• Scoop thin slivers of tofu into serving bowls and then pour the sauce over, making sure to include a slice or 2 of candied ginger from the pot.
• Finish with a pop of fresh green, like mint leaves.
• Note: The syrup can be made in advance, and in fact this steeps the flavour even further. Just store it in a covered jar in the fridge and heat prior to serving.
