HELLO LOVELY VIEWERS! Important Note: If you have questions about this recipe, you can post it here for the community to answer. But if you want to ask me, please get in touch via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or my website (all links are in the description above). If you leave questions in the comments I may not see them due to the large volume of comments I receive across the hundreds of videos on this channel. Also, before sending on any questions be sure to read the written recipe on the website as I often add extra tips and notes not covered in the video. Thank you for watching!

Hi. Can I use it in my cheesecake recipe which require 1 1/2 tsp of gelatine powder with 5 tbsp water? If so I need to use the same amount of agar instead of gelatine? For me I feel if I use more water as it was showing in the video it will ruin the recipe!!! Any one tried this before

@miha9523 4 года назад

Is gelatin the same as konnyaku jelly?

@adamthehtkminion6750 4 года назад

@@miha9523 No konnyaku is made from a kind of potato and gelatin is an animal product. Cheers! Adam

Another different about agar agar and gelatine is the agar agar set at room temperature when gelatine only set at cold tempt and kinda melt when it stay at room tempt for too long after it has been set. And if this help, there's tip for layering agar agar. When your first layer has set completely, take a toothpick or a tiny fork and make little holes on the first layer surface, then pour in your second layer. The holes between 2 layers can help the second one sticks to the other better.

Also, agar agar is faster than gelatin. For example if you use almond milk plus agar agar to make a pudding sometimes it can get firm in more or less than 30 minutes at room temperature

I love how asian stores sell some fantastic vegan products like tofu and agar agar at a verry accecible price, go to another one and they cost much, much more (sorry if bad english)

@crslinday9512 4 года назад

@ivysn13 3 года назад

agreed lol white places shoot up prices when they literally buy from these big Asian countries. Asian countries have vegan/vegetarian cultures deeply ingrained and superfoods like Cordeyceps and Osmathus that have been used in Chinese and neighboring cultures for thousands of years now just recently be promoted by white supermodels LOL always late

Great video! Phuc Le (below) has also a great tip for multilayers to stick together better - make little holes (e.g. with a toothpick) in the set layers before pouring new ones. I would add: do not make the holes at a straight 90-degree angle (as in "I")! Make them diagonally for a stronger holding. If you make two little "V" or "X" shaped holes (if looking from the side), the effect should be yet a little better.

I liked the way you explained about it and to the point. As growing older it's good for the joints, helps regain the cartilage that's why I wanna start using it because it's better than jello. Thanks for the recipes.

Thank you for sharing. I love Agar Agar, and I find the powder form much easier. You can also find it at Indian grocery stores. Just one word of caution, in the local Indian grocery near me, I check the expiration date because sometimes they sell outdated ones by wiping them out with acetone.

@ireneb3433 Год назад

Wow .. watching this was like visiting a friend ... you have such a pleasant, personable style!!! A tip I saw on the web was to throw the agar-agar threads into a blender to make it into a powder if you want it to be quick and easy, rather than having to soak the threads and take longer!

@shubh9609 8 лет назад

thanks, much needed video :) i have the stick type agar agar so i soaked it for 15 mins then blended it into thin paste in my small blender jar.....looks like it will work :)

@wagayetadese3969 2 года назад

Thanks for your explanation. I like it .you look proffecional teacher. Keep up.

@robertphillips3992 4 года назад

The powder takes rather a long time to dissolve, I’m not sure why one would mess with the thin string style. It’s interesting to work with a small variance between the water/agar agar ratio gives quite a different texture. That makes it perfect for different food texture applications

@m.haslam8495 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this. I'm new to Agar Agar and the way you explained this was exemplary, easy to understand, step by step. Thank you once again.

@jeremybecker3736 6 лет назад

Can you use soda like coke or sprite with woon or will the carbonation ruin the jellies flavor and texture? Also, what about making fresh thai iced tea with condensed milk jellies? Can I add the agar agar powder to the tea making process and then once the condensed milk is stirred in, then put it in the mold instead of a storage container?

Thank you for all this information, Pailin!!! I had been staying away from agar agar because I wasn't sure how to use it but I tried it a few weeks ago to experiment with making thicker homemade L. Reuteri coconut yogurt and I wasn't sure what went wrong... 😅 so glad I found your video! I think I mixed the agar agar when the coconut milk was already at 82 degrees Celsius, so it most likely didn't mix evenly. I shall change that for my next batch! ☺

@kruzrken 2 года назад

Tnx 4 the help!

@1maderaroja 7 лет назад

Okay. I understood what you said about Agar-Agar; the proportions of water to powder, the temperature and waiting for the powder to dissolve. But, what if I don't want to use water and, therefore, cannot see the powder dissolve completely? What if I want to use only milk or coconut milk or orange juice, etc.?

@mothgirlx6707 5 лет назад

I’ve always wondered how to make the type of jelly that is firmer than. I was told to add flavour after whatever you’re using is cooled but would that work with Agar or will it be too late because it would set too quickly at room temperature?

@ladauphine2837 7 лет назад
