Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Cornstarch
Thickens the liquid into a smooth pudding as it heats and boils.
Egg
Adds richness and helps set the pudding as it cooks.
Soy protein formula
Forms the liquid base of the pudding.
Sugar
Adds sweetness and helps soften the set texture.

The step that matters

Cook until thickened. Cornstarch only thickens fully once the mixture reaches a boil, so stopping early leaves a thin pudding. Stir constantly over medium heat so the starch dissolves evenly and does not scorch or form lumps.
