Start by measuring 3 teaspoons of gypsum powder and 2 teaspoons of potato starch.

Add 1/3 cup of cold water to the powders and mix until dissolved.

If using store-bought soy milk, measure out 2 and 3/4 cups and boil it down to 2 and 1/2 cups to thicken.

Mix the gypsum mixture one final time to ensure no sediments are settled at the bottom.

Pour the soy milk from about a foot above into the gypsum mixture to ensure it's well mixed.

Cover the mixture with a towel and set aside for about 1 hour to allow it to coagulate at room temperature.

Check the mixture after an hour; it should have a soft and silky texture similar to silken tofu.

Prepare a ginger syrup by combining brown sugar with ginger and water, then top the tofu pudding with this syrup.
