Japanese Purin in the Microwave Recipe Video
This video will show you how to make a Japanese Custard Pudding in a microwave! The recipe is very easy but please read my instructions carefully since the cooking time differs depending on the wattage and the microwave manufacturer. I really recommend you to use 500w microwave for this recipe because it becomes really spongy if you use higher wattage.

Editors Review
A popular Japanese-style pudding, so smooth and creamy, this custard pudding called Purin is a really easy summer dessert, using basic ingredients. One of the regulars in Japanese menus, this Japanese creme caramel is lighter and less sweet that the French version. It's quick, easy and works reliably. This is a basic custard recipe but you can spruce it up by adding your favorite fruits and flavors.Chef
