A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
The Chinese name 水牛奶 identifies water-buffalo milk. Appearance alone does not establish which animal supplied a dairy milk.
In the kitchen
Used in Shawan ginger milk pudding and in a traditional Daliang fried-milk preparation.
It is an animal milk, not a plant-based drink. Recipes using other dairy milks are alternatives; the name does not guarantee that every milk dessert uses water-buffalo milk.
