Recipe #1: Matcha Pudding
Ingredients (for 6 cups)
- 5 grams of gelatin
- 3 tablespoons of water
- 20 grams of sugar
- 40 grams of condensed milk
- 100ml of fresh cream
- 200ml of milk
- 1 tablespoon of matcha powder. *Set aside a small amount to use for topping later

Making It
- 1. Place the gelatin in water to soften it up.
- 2. Place the sugar, condensed milk, and fresh cream into a pot and warm under a low heat setting.
After bubbling and the sugar has fully dissolved, add the gelatin from step #1 to the pot.
- 3. After the gelatin dissolves, add in the milk and matcha powder and mix them.
- 4. Add in some cold water to the pot and mix until it gets thick.
- 5. Pour out an equal amount into 6 cups with water and put into a refrigerator to harden.
- 6. After hardening, add some whipped cream to the top. Finally, sprinkle some matcha powder on top of that to finish.
Notes from the chef
Matcha has a certain thickness and weight to it.
Be sure to do step #4 because if you do step #3 and leave it as it is, it will come out as two different layers.
