I have always said that Guangzhou's "Nanxin" double-skin milk is more delicious than Hong Kong's "Yishun", and its biggest feature lies in its milk fragrance, skin and taste.
"Nanxin" double-skin milk: it tastes mellow, very elastic, and the milk is fragrant, especially the milk skin is very thick. If you eat it in your mouth, it can stick to your teeth and spoon;
The "Yishun" double-skin milk: the taste is a little thin, not thick enough, it feels a little watery, and the milk fragrance is not rich enough, and this milk skin is even worse than that of "Nanxin"!
Double-skinned milk, as the name implies, is milk with double skins. It is said that when a farmer named He Shisan cooked breakfast in Shunde in the morning, he accidentally turned over a pattern in buffalo milk. Soon, an old friend who knew the goods bought the formula and opened a food stall. This Shunde double-skin milk became a tradition, and double-skin milk has been passed down from the late Qing Dynasty to the present.
Method for make double skin milk
Ingredients: two bowls of milk and three eggs.
Practice: first boil the milk,
Remember to use a small fire, because milk is easy to roll and diarrhea.
After the pot is boiled, pour it into a bowl and let it cool. Use this time to prepare the egg white, and break it up enough. If different milk is mixed, it will lump, and the finished product will not be smooth enough.
The milk is a little cold, so you can do the next step when you see a layer of milk skin.
Carefully lift the corner of the milk skin and pour the milk back into the pot.
The first layer of skin is left at the bottom of the bowl.
Add sugar to milk, about four tablespoons, and I use three tablespoons. I think it is sweet enough.
Stir the milk until the sugar melts, then you can add the egg white.
Mix the egg white with the milk fully, and then pour it into the bowl carefully, so as not to spoil the first layer of skin.
Put it in a pot and steam it. Remember to add more dishes to the bowl or use plastic wrap to avoid dripping sweat.
Steam for 15 minutes, and you're done. The second skin is faintly visible.
