~ Coconut Pandan Agar

Image124

Modified from:
Swallow Globe Brand Agar Agar

Description:
Simple yet refreshing Asian dessert to cool the body on a warm day~

Ingredients:
1 packet of agar (12g)
750 g water (use 800 g in case water evaporates)
150 g sugar
250 g coconut milk
1/2 tsp pandan essence

Directions:
1. Bring water, sugar and agar to boil, till everything is dissolved.
2. Stir in coconut milk and pandan essence, and simmer for 2 - 3 min.
3. Pour into moulds, cool and refrigerate.

Remarks:
Constant exposure to inedible-foul-chicken-essence-smelling agar in the lab had induced me to make this - yummy fragrant agar dessert! I think it's a waste to feed microorganisms with such yummy red algae that possesses an array of health benefits (like detox, slimming, etc).

The agar jellies turned out just as expected, and did not fail to amuse my tastebuds. Great taste, minimal effort! Oh they can make a great treat for the health-conscious too (only if you reduce the sugar and omit the coconut milk)! =p
