Hi. Can I use it in my cheesecake recipe which require 1 1/2 tsp of gelatine powder with 5 tbsp water? If so I need to use the same amount of agar instead of gelatine? For me I feel if I use more water as it was showing in the video it will ruin the recipe!!! Any one tried this before
Another different about agar agar and gelatine is the agar agar set at room temperature when gelatine only set at cold tempt and kinda melt when it stay at room tempt for too long after it has been set. And if this help, there's tip for layering agar agar. When your first layer has set completely, take a toothpick or a tiny fork and make little holes on the first layer surface, then pour in your second layer. The holes between 2 layers can help the second one sticks to the other better.
Also, agar agar is faster than gelatin. For example if you use almond milk plus agar agar to make a pudding sometimes it can get firm in more or less than 30 minutes at room temperature
Great video! Phuc Le (below) has also a great tip for multilayers to stick together better - make little holes (e.g. with a toothpick) in the set layers before pouring new ones. I would add: do not make the holes at a straight 90-degree angle (as in "I")! Make them diagonally for a stronger holding. If you make two little "V" or "X" shaped holes (if looking from the side), the effect should be yet a little better.
I love how asian stores sell some fantastic vegan products like tofu and agar agar at a verry accecible price, go to another one and they cost much, much more (sorry if bad english)
agreed lol white places shoot up prices when they literally buy from these big Asian countries. Asian countries have vegan/vegetarian cultures deeply ingrained and superfoods like Cordeyceps and Osmathus that have been used in Chinese and neighboring cultures for thousands of years now just recently be promoted by white supermodels LOL always late
I liked the way you explained about it and to the point. As growing older it's good for the joints, helps regain the cartilage that's why I wanna start using it because it's better than jello. Thanks for the recipes.
Thank you for this video. I bought the powdered agar agar in the same Thai packet from your video a while back. I didn't know how to use it since the instructions were sparse. This video has saved me!
Thank you for sharing. I love Agar Agar, and I find the powder form much easier. You can also find it at Indian grocery stores. Just one word of caution, in the local Indian grocery near me, I check the expiration date because sometimes they sell outdated ones by wiping them out with acetone.
Wow .. watching this was like visiting a friend ... you have such a pleasant, personable style!!! A tip I saw on the web was to throw the agar-agar threads into a blender to make it into a powder if you want it to be quick and easy, rather than having to soak the threads and take longer!
THANK YOU!!! I don't like when the layers separate. Thanks for all these great tips that you learned through your experience so I won't have to learn the hard wayyyyyyy.
I love it.. filipino gelatin always use agar agar .... it is delicious... i can eat it all day lol.. We add some condense and evaporated milk in it and some fruits... Delicious... very delicious
The powder takes rather a long time to dissolve, I’m not sure why one would mess with the thin string style. It’s interesting to work with a small variance between the water/agar agar ratio gives quite a different texture. That makes it perfect for different food texture applications
Thank you for this! I bought some agar agar flakes, and most recipes only give you ratios for the powder, so I haven't been able to successfully use it thus far lol
I love the mango coconut jelly recipe, but want to get a more pronounced coconut flavour while cutting the sugar. Do you have any tips? Maybe use coconut water instead of water?
Thank you! You explain things very well. New subscriber. I’m having a hard time with agar Egar substitution for gelatin in recipes! I guess I will go by the amount of liquid instead.
Okay. I understood what you said about Agar-Agar; the proportions of water to powder, the temperature and waiting for the powder to dissolve. But, what if I don't want to use water and, therefore, cannot see the powder dissolve completely? What if I want to use only milk or coconut milk or orange juice, etc.?
you can also put a spoom of your agar agar juice on a plate and wait some seconds for it to kool down then try if it's a bit like jelly so you can see if your agar agar juice is ready to set
Thanks for the great info! This was perfect, exactly what I needed to know. I wasn't sure if I wanted to try agar agar, but I can't have normal gelatin. Definitely going to give it a try now. :)
Can you use soda like coke or sprite with woon or will the carbonation ruin the jellies flavor and texture? Also, what about making fresh thai iced tea with condensed milk jellies? Can I add the agar agar powder to the tea making process and then once the condensed milk is stirred in, then put it in the mold instead of a storage container?
Thank you SO much!! I have been having the hugest amount of trouble finding a good explanation for how to use this and WHY to do all the pre-dissolving/boiling stuff. The only question I still have about using it is how to use it as a thickener to make something stable, but not solid. Is it just a question of amount? Would love your thoughts on this! :)
Thank you for all this information, Pailin!!! I had been staying away from agar agar because I wasn't sure how to use it but I tried it a few weeks ago to experiment with making thicker homemade L. Reuteri coconut yogurt and I wasn't sure what went wrong... 😅 so glad I found your video! I think I mixed the agar agar when the coconut milk was already at 82 degrees Celsius, so it most likely didn't mix evenly. I shall change that for my next batch! ☺
Hi... Nice video... Can u please help how to stabilize whipping cream using agar powder... I have seen many videos but all use gelatin n not agar.... Hope we get to c video using agar
Hi! Thank you for your explanation of Agar Agar. There is Gelatine and there is Agar Agar. I think there is a 3rd thing similar to these two. And also, is it possible if you made a video on making pineapple Agar Agar, please. I have your books but video is easier, and also can see it. If I see, I remember 😀
Thank you, Pailin. I have enjoyed your channel tremendously. It is always full of precise details and technique. I would like to know how much 1/3 cup for agar agar strip weighs.
Hi! I think you're going to have to ask her that one directly as she doesn't see the comments on here once the post is more than a week old (as per her note above). So click on "Show more" above to see how to contact her. Cheers! Adam
On boiling the water and agar agar solution I didn't pay attention that the solution must be clear so my jellys were not that good. But this time I got a great jelly. Thank you.

Is gelatin the same as konnyaku jelly?
@@miha9523 No konnyaku is made from a kind of potato and gelatin is an animal product. Cheers! Adam
@@adamthehtkminion6750 thank you!

+Phuc Le good tip!
Phuc Le .good teaching
Phuc Le Wow thnx
Also, agar agar is faster than gelatin. For example if you use almond milk plus agar agar to make a pudding sometimes it can get firm in more or less than 30 minutes at room temperature
if i heat it again does it melt again?
I love how thorough you are in your explanation yet you don't go on and on and on to get to the point :) awesome :)
+Van Nguyen It has taken a lot of practice to get to that ;) But thank you, I appreciate it!

Yes, prices go up if they can market it as a "health food"
I'm sad no one pointed out your English was fine
@@OfficialROZWBRAZEL me too

Lol if you don't want it to set then it's easier to go with a starch (corn, tapioca, etc) powder to thicken any liquid.
Can agar agar be used to stabilise whipping cream? If yes then how? Please help!

@@adamthehtkminion6750 Thank you
Main ingredient used in petri dishes to grow bacteria 👌 makes sense why it would be a substitute for gelatin
thanks for the comparison descriptions!

On boiling the water and agar agar solution I didn't pay attention that the solution must be clear so my jellys were not that good. But this time I got a great jelly. Thank you.
hello. enjoyed watching this informative video. Can you use Tapioca starch (or powder) for Agar agar?
