Agar Agar Fishes ala Lena
Lena, my dear friend, you have sent me these fish moulds awhile ago and i did make these but somehow did not post them. So, now here they are, aren't they the best looking fishes you have seen? Thank you and kam seah, without your generosity, this will not happen.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp agar agar powder
400 ml concentrated coconut milk
800 ml water
200 gm sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Method:
Boil the agar agar powder and sugar with the water until dissolve.
Remove 1/2 cup and color it orange/red. Using a tiny paint brush, paint onto the the gills, tails and wherever you wish on to the koi fish moulds. Use raisins for the eyes. Let it set.
Add coconut milk to the rest of the dissolved agar agar and then fill up the koi fish moulds.
For the dolphins, add blue coloring.
Leave to set in the fridge.

ReplyDeleteI like it for cake decoration and wonder if I can other design molds?
ReplyDeleteCheck out About.Com on gummi or gummy candies making using jello and unfavoring gelatin. If so easy also.

ReplyDeletethese moulds were sent to me by my dear friend who is in singapore. If i am not wrong, she bought them from Phoon Huat
Hi. How do you get those jelly out from the mould without any damage? Any trick behind it? Thanks

ReplyDeleteuse a warm towel and loosen the jelly before overturning.
make a slightly firmer jelly they turn out better
