Rice Wine Custard Pudding
A delicate Korean steamed egg custard built on whole milk and sweetened rice wine, gently set in individual pots until silky and just barely trembling. The warmth of makgeolli-style rice wine lends a soft, fermented sweetness beneath the clean dairy base, finished with a scatter of toasted pine nuts for crunch.

Instructions
1
Warm the whole milk gently in a small pan until just steaming, then remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes so it won't scramble the egg.
2
In a bowl, whisk the beaten egg with sugar and salt until the sugar dissolves, then slowly stream in the warmed milk while whisking constantly.
3
Stir in the rice wine and vanilla extract, then strain the mixture through a sieve into two small ramekins to remove any foam or egg strands.
4
Cover each ramekin tightly with foil and set them in a steamer or a wide pan with a lid over simmering water, water reaching halfway up the sides.
5
Steam gently on low heat for 12-14 minutes until the custards are just set with a slight wobble in the centre; avoid high heat to prevent a porous, weeping texture.
6
Remove ramekins and let cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
7
Scatter the toasted chopped pine nuts over the top just before serving.
