Definition
A Filipino and Southeast Asian dessert or drink made from seaweed that forms a jelly-like substance, often mixed with brown sugar and vanilla.
Etymology
From Malay 'gulaman,' possibly from Arabic 'kulman' or related roots. The word traveled through Southeast Asian trade networks. The recipe likely came from Indian pudding traditions adapted to local seaweed.
Kelly Says
Gulaman is a perfect example of how global trade created fusion foods — it's seaweed-based (East Asian) made into a pudding (Indian style) with Islamic-influenced sweetening (Arabic) sold on Filipino street corners — centuries of culinary exchange in one bowl.
