HISTORY
Pig blood curd is a popular Cantonese delicacy
in Hong Kong and Southern China.Pink blood curd
is actually originates in Southern China called
Blood rice pudding in the 20th Century .
In Southern China , rice is the main ingredient
of a Chinese cuisine. There are two common
ways to cook the rice which is by steaming and
boiling.Usually they used duck meat as a source
of supplement .However , because of the poor
conditions in the past , duck were only offered
during the Chinese festivals.Later , blood rice
pudding was spread to other villages and villagers
named it duck blood pudding.However , due to the
duck price getting higher and the chicken blood
cannot coagulate to pudding ,duck blood was
replaced with pig blood. That is when Pig blood

Pig blood curd also known as blood tofu or
blood pudding.Usually it is served with
noodles or congees because pig blood curd

Method
Pig blood curd is basically a solidified pig's blood .
The blood is coagulated by putting the blood in a
container for about 10 minutes for it to be static.
After that , cut the blood into a shape of a small
cube.Next , heat in a medium heat pot with enough
water.During heating it , salt is added to solidify
the blood cube and always stirred it to prevent
boiling of water.After 30 minutes , it is ready
to be served .
Conclsusion
It does not look like a blood. The pig blood
curd looks really like a pudding. However my
religion does not allowed me to eat it. It's okay ,
I can find other food just like this to eat maybe.
