Extremely simple - it's basically follow the instructions at the back of the pack of this particular brand of agar powder that I used! Absolutely no tricks there! I like using the powder version, heaps quicker! Actually I have never used the strips before, but Mum has said it is more of a hassle!
Some quick pointers on making the layered jelly (besides it being absolutely time consuming, but totally worth while when it works out!):
- I like using coconut milk to get the pastel colours - I dont really have a set amt of how much of it I use. Eg. 1 recipe = 1L of water, you could do half water and half coconut milk. I have never used 100% coconut milk before!
- Each layer takes about 3-5mins to harden - use a toothpick to lightly tap each layer to make sure it is actually set before pouring in the next layer.
- To get a nice pandan flavour, use the green pandan flavour colouring which can be purchased from Asian grocery shops.
- A problem I had was how do you keep the jelly from not hardening in its pots/containers whilst you wait for each layer to set? Keep it on a low flame! Otherwise it will most likely set in the pot :)
- Recipe asks for 250g sugar... I always use just under a cup of sugar.. I think this is less than 250g sugar, and just right if you ask me! :)
