Well, let me tell ya, this Chinese bu ding pudding, it’s a mighty fine thing, ain’t it? Now, I ain’t no chef or nothin’, but I been around long enough to know when somethin’ tastes good. This here pudding, it’s got that soft, wobbly feelin’ to it, and when you take a bite, it just melts in yer mouth, like a soft cloud on a hot day. Ain’t nobody who don’t like that kinda treat.

Now, I been thinkin’ a lot about this puddin’ lately. Some folks call it bu ding, some folks just call it pudding, but whatever they call it, it’s sweet, smooth, and just the right amount of creamy. It’s real simple to make too, which is good for us folks who ain’t got all day to spend in the kitchen. And, you don’t need all them fancy ingredients that cost ya a whole bunch of money neither, which is always a plus if you’re like me, countin’ pennies.
First thing ya gotta do is get ya some ingredients. You don’t need much, but ya gotta have the basics. You need some good milk, sugar, cornstarch, and of course, the star of the show, the pudding powder. You can find that in most stores, I reckon. Don’t be worried if you don’t see it at first. Just ask around, and someone’ll point ya in the right direction.
Here’s what you gotta do, step by step:
- First, get yer pot out. Ain’t gotta be too big, just enough to hold everything in it.
- Pour in about 500 ml of milk—don’t matter if it’s whole milk or not. I use what I got. Then, add about 3 tablespoons of sugar. Don’t be shy with the sugar; you want it to taste sweet, but not too sweet.
- Now, in a little bowl, take about 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and mix it with a bit of cold milk, maybe 50 ml. You just want to dissolve it, make sure it ain’t lumpy. Once it’s all mixed up, pour that in with the rest of the milk and sugar in the pot.
- Next, you gotta turn on the heat. Not too high, mind ya. You want it to heat up slow and steady. Keep stirrin’ it around so it don’t stick to the bottom. This is the part where you gotta be patient—don’t rush it, or it’ll turn out all wrong. You’ll start to see it thicken up after a little while.
- Once it gets thick and all pudding-like, take it off the heat and pour it into your molds or bowls. Don’t be shy—fill ’em up good.
- Let it cool down a bit. Then stick ’em in the fridge. Ain’t no hurry. Let ’em chill for a couple hours, so they set nice and firm.
Now, the fun part is after it’s set. You can eat it just like that, or if you want to get fancy, you can put a little mango on top. Mango pudding, that’s what my daughter calls it when she makes it. I tell ya, it’s the best kind of pudding you’ll ever eat. That fresh fruit just makes it pop! But if you don’t got mango, don’t worry. Just eat it plain, or use whatever fruit you got hangin’ around. Strawberries work real good too. Or just drizzle some honey over the top—everything tastes better with a little sweetness!
Now, some folks might say that this ain’t real Chinese bu ding pudding if you don’t have the right kind of ingredients or make it the “proper” way. Well, I say, if it tastes good and makes your belly happy, that’s all that matters! Ain’t nobody gonna turn down a bowl of this, no matter where they’re from or how they make it. Sometimes, simple is best, and I reckon this pudding proves that.

Why folks love this bu ding pudding:
- It’s easy to make—no fuss, no mess.
- It’s cheap—don’t cost ya a whole lot, but you get a big ol’ bowl full of happiness.
- It’s versatile—you can eat it plain or add fruit, honey, or anything else you like.
- It’s creamy and sweet, just like a good dessert should be.
So, next time you’re wantin’ somethin’ sweet and easy, why not give this Chinese bu ding pudding a try? It’s one of them simple pleasures in life that always puts a smile on yer face. And, you’ll be proud of how easy it is to make, I promise ya that!
