Ginger hits milk
Jiāng Zhuàng Nǎi (Ginger Milk Curd) is a magical Cantonese dessert made from just two ingredients: fresh ginger juice and hot milk. When combined, the ginger's natural enzymes curdle the milk into a silky, delicate pudding with a warm ginger spice. No additional coagulant is needed — it is pure culinary chemistry.
