layered agar-agar



i hv always been fascinated by agar-agar.... thanks to hubby's influence.... i tried out this layered agar-agar... but not before i searched online for the easiest recipe to follow.... on the actual day itself, i followed non of the recipes... instead i ventured on my own... as in determining the level of water, sugar etc..... the result: 50% ok

coz i did two trays of it.... onli one survived... LOL.... which means onli one turned out good... the other one was "rosak"...... as in not presentable as the layers did not stick to each other....

the good one, we gave to nearby friends and relatives.... the bad one, into our own stomach of course....

here's the recipe for my own record... not a good one... will try to improvise it soon

** i used the normal swallow brand agar2 powder **

ingredients:
(A)
one packet of red agar2 powder
900ml water
100gm of sugar

(B)
one packet of yellow agar2 powder
900ml water
100gm of sugar

(C)
one packet of green agar2 powder
900ml water
100gm of sugar

(D)
two packets of clear color agar2
400ml of coconut milk powder
1400ml water
3 pandan leaves
1/2 tsp salt

method:

1) cook (A) pour evenly into two different trays

2) cook (D). Once the (A) has harden a bit, measure about 600ml of (D) and pour evenly into the two trays. If (A) is too hard, lightly scratch it with a fork to form some "holes/ lines" so that (D) can stick onto it. The remaining of (D) to be keep in the pot and keep warm with a small flame
3) cook (B) then layered with (D) and repeat this step for (C)

** if got some leftover agar2, put it into those pattern mould, turns out nice as well **

TIPS:
this recipe is a bit time consuming compare to the normal agar2.for it to be succesful, must be really patience. preferably, the layered agar2 be cool off first before refrigerate it in the fridge for about 3 hours and finally be cut as u like.....
