  8. Check the pudding; if it's not quite set, microwave for another 1.5 minutes.
  9. Let it stand for a couple of minutes before serving.
  10. **Variations:** Add your favorite mix-ins! Try 50g raisins for a spotted dick, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
