Ingredients- Agar-agar powder 8g
- Water 1000ml
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a pot, combine 1000ml of water and 8g of agar-agar powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the agar-agar from clumping.
Step 2
Once the water begins to boil and the agar-agar has completely dissolved, turn off the heat. Ensure no undissolved particles remain. Be careful not to let it stick to the bottom of the pot.
Step 3
Pour the dissolved agar-agar mixture into your desired mold or keep it in the pot. Place it in a cool area, such as the refrigerator or a cool room, to set.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to gradually solidify into a jelly-like consistency. Patience is key here for a perfectly set jelly.
Step 5
I prepared this the previous evening and left it to set in the refrigerator overnight. This morning, it was beautifully firm and ready!
Step 6
The agar-agar jelly has set perfectly, with a delightful jiggly texture and a beautiful clear appearance. Check if it has firmed up as you like.
Step 7
Once firm, slice the jelly into thin strips using a knife or a mandoline slicer. Store the sliced Umok in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
