A useful tips
Boil the milk and gobocha for a reasonable time, then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. This produces a rich aroma like unrefined sugar. The blancmange base I made will harden in about 6 hours. You can shorten this to about two hours by plunging the blancmange pot into iced water before you transfer the base into the serving dishes.
