Creamy-Soft and Wobbly! Rich Annin Tofu (Almond Tofu)

I love annin tofu. I experimented several times before I came up with this recipe.
- Make sure you add the Chinese almond powder at the beginning when you turn on the heat and simmer it over low heat, otherwise it won't dissolve completely. So please do not turn up the heat to high. It might get burned if you don't stir it, so please cook it slowly while stirring. Recipe by nyonta

Cooking Instructions
- 1
I used this Chinese almond powder that I bought at the Tokyu Hands store. It was 200 yen for 40g. It may be available at large supermarkets too.
- 2
Mix the sugar and Chinese almond powder well. Soak the gelatin in water.
- 3
Pour milk, heavy cream, and the mixture from Step 2 into a pot. Turn on the heat to low-medium.
- 4
Continue mixing with a spatula until it starts to bubble, then turn off the heat. Put the gelatin, and dissolve.
- 5
Strain the mixture in a tea strainer, and transfer to a bowl.
- 6
Chill it in a bowl of ice-cold water while stirring. (If you pour it into molds and refrigerate when the mixture is still hot, it will form a film.)
- 7
When it's mostly cooled, slowly pour it into molds, and chill in the fridge to harden.
- 8
Garnish with goji berries or mint leaves if you have some, then serve!

Silken Almond Tofu Silken Almond Tofu
Each restaurant has its own unique version of almond tofu. Sometimes it's nice to try something new, but I prefer the traditional version.I aimed to achieve the aromatic almond tofu with a silky and smooth texture served at Tokarin (a famous Chinese restaurant in Tokyo).In Step 4, a thin membrane will form if you don't allow it to cool before chilling.For the photo, I show it served in diamond-shaped cubes. Since the tofu is soft, I don't recommend trying it, but if you do, after pouring the batter into a tray, let it cool to set, then cut, pour in the syrup, then separate the cubes.

Easy and Smooth Almond Tofu with Kiwi Easy and Smooth Almond Tofu with Kiwi
When we had a meal at a Chinese restaurant in my hometown 6-7 years ago, I had a similar dessert at the end of the meal. At that time, soft textured almond tofu was still not easily available and the combination of soft almond jelly and sliced kiwifruit was very attractive.After several trials, I found recipe author Kentaro's recipe in a food magazine quite similar to the almond jelly I had at the restaurant. With my recollection and his recipe, I figured out my own.Put the gelatin into the water, not the other way around, to prevent lumps.Do not omit the sliced kiwi fruit or the syrup. The syrup adds a softer texture to the dish and sharpens the flavour rather than making it sweeter. If you think the almond flavour is too weak, add more almond essence to the syrup. I made this recipe using a whole carton of heavy cream, not leaving leftovers. For 5-6 servings. Recipe by Kanonno cookpad.japan -
