Fresh Report on Vietnamese-Produced Yogurt Delights
Homemade Vietnamese Yogurt: A Breezy Recipe!
Craving a silky, sweet, and slightly tart treat? Look no further than homemade Vietnamese yogurt, or "da ua" and "sữa chua." This delectable dessert or breakfast staple is easy to make, calls for simple ingredients, and offers a refreshing change to your daily yogurt routine. Here's how to whip up this dreamy concoction in no time!
- Yield: Approximately 4 cups yogurt
- Difficulty: Child's play (Easy)
- Prep Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- One can of Sweetened Condensed Milk (Our favorites are Longevity or Black & White)
- 2 cups Near-boiling Water
- 1 ¼ cups Milk (Preferably whole milk)
- 2/3 cups Plain Yogurt (or try Vietnamese yogurt if you can find it)
Let's Get Cookin'!
- Combine sweetened condensed milk and hot water in a bowl, whisking vigorously until a uniform texture forms.
- In a separate larger bowl, mix milk and plain yogurt until smooth. Incorporate the sweetened condensed milk mixture, whisking gently until all ingredients are well mixed and free of lumps.
- Pour the Yankee Doodle mixture into storage containers of your choice (small plastic containers, recycled baby food jars, small canning jars, etc.).
- Fill a wide-bottomed pot with about 1 inch of water, heating it until it nearly boils. Heat an additional pot of water as well to be ready for later.
- After the water is hot, turn off the heat and nestle your yogurt containers into the bath. Pour more water into the pot to reach a level roughly equal to the containers. Use a funnel to avoid splashing water into the yogurt containers.
- Lay a towel over the pot, ensuring it doesn't droop, and allow the yogurt to set in the warm bath. After the water has cooled completely, reheat the water in the pot on the stove for 3-4 minutes. Once the water has cooled again (for approximately 4-5 hours total), the yogurt should be nicely set. Remove from the bath, cover containers with lids, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- If the yogurt is sweet but not set after the water has cooled, chances are the water bath was too hot for too long. Next time, aim for a cooler bath or a slower warming phase.
