Agar jellies are common treats and desserts in Asia. Today, i am going to teach you how to make the most common type pf jelly. Agar powder can be found in most Asian stores. Agar powder is the vegetarian alternative to gelatin, and it also sets at room temperature. A great snack for kid and adults through out the year.

Another thing to note is that agar contains a lot of fibre. By eating some agar jellies before meals would also make one feel fuller, hence eating less at meal. Thus, it has a slimming effect too!

10g agar powder
750ml water (room temperature)
