【Japanese Food】Crunchy Dried Agar-agar Jelly "Kohakuto"

"Kohaku-to (琥珀糖)" is a Japanese semi-dry confection. "Kohaku" means amber and "tō" means "sugar" in Japanese and it is also represented as "edible jewel".
Kohakuto is a kanten (agar) jelly with crystalized crunchy skin. It goes well not only with green tea or matcha, but also with coffee or any type of tea.
Kanten (agar) is made from "tengusa" (a kind of seaweed). If you are interested how it looks like, please watch the video below:

👋 Hello. Would they crust faster if i put them in a low temp oven or a warm but “off” oven?

[@palomasdailykitchen]

Hi 😄Put them in the oven at around 40°C, they’ll dry faster 👍
