Instructions
- Before You Start…Please note that this recipe requires 30 minutes of chilling time. Gather all the ingredients. You will need an 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20-cm) baking dish, which is the ideal size for cutting the kanten jelly into neat cubes.
- In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups water and 2 tsp kanten (agar) powder.
- Whisk well to combine, then heat over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a full boil, stirring occasionally and watching carefully so it doesn't boil over.
- Once boiling and the agar is fully dissolved, add 2 Tbsp sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes. Nami's Tip: Do not add the sugar before boiling, as it can prevent the agar from dissolving properly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately pour the mixture into the 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20-cm) baking dish. Let it cool, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until fully set.
- Once firm, cut the kanten jelly into ½-inch (1.5-cm) cubes. It's ready to enjoy.
- Transfer the jelly to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
