What is Agar Agar Powder?
Before I go to my next recipe, I’d like to introduce the most essential ingredient that I use a lot. ‘Agar powder’ is a gelatinous substance that is originally made from seaweed. It needs to be brought to boil in order for the setting to occur. It is low in saturated fat and cholesterol but high in calcium, folate, iron, and vitamins among others. It is ideal for people interested in weight loss and maintaining good health. (Source: Wikipedia) You can easily buy this item in the local Chinese markets. It’s quite different from gelatin or jello which are sold in the supermarkets. The texture of agar agar is stiffer and less chewy than gelatin or jello. It comes in different colors although the flavor is still the same. And it is very cheap. Hope this information help! 😊 IG @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel

Milk Pudding with Agar Milk Pudding with Agar
I love the texture of agar. Since it's suitable for bento, I use agar almost everyday.Depending on the brand, agar should be boiled, so be sure to read the instructions.Since a thin film forms once the milk is heated, I recommend straining with a fine mesh strainer for a smooth result.

Super Easy Springy Pudding with Agar Super Easy Springy Pudding with Agar
The texture and the taste of “Putchin Pudding” cannot be copied with a custard pudding recipe that is baked in the oven! So I studied the ingredients of “Putchin Pudding” on their website, then I came up with a recipe using Agar. After trying many tries, I finally settled on this.Make sure to cook the pudding mixture on low heat! When a film forms on the spatula or the side of the pan, remove from the heat before it is over done! ＊If you heat it over high heat, or overheat by boiling the mixture, it will separate!

Orange Juice Agar Jello Orange Juice Agar Jello
I like the texture of thickened agar better than gelatin. This recipe is based off many testings.If agar isn't boiled, it won't harden so make sure to boil it!If for some reason it doesn't harden when chilled, transfer it back to the pot and boil again.If you boil gelatin, it is harder to thicken, so when using gelatin, follow Step 9.

Fruit Yogurt Agar (Kanten) Fruit Yogurt Agar (Kanten)
I made this to use up yogurt I had. It is easy to make and has lots of fruit in it, so it is delicious.It is not so sweet so if you prefer it sweeter, you can add 10-20 g more sugar if you like.If the fruits are big, cut in advance. You can pour the syrup on the kanten when it has hardened. You have to melt the powdered kanten well at Step 2 otherwise it wouldn't harden.When it starts to bubble, mix for 3 to 4 minutes and let the kanten melt.At Step 3, mix quickly. Recipe by kiri19 -
