Ingredients :
- 1 packet Agar-agar (abt 20gm)
1450ml water
240gm Gula Melaka (crushed coarsely)
2 Tablespoon white sugar (or as needed)
1Tablespoon dark brown sugar (optional )
Generous pinch of salt
4pcs Daun Pandan
1/2 Cup thick santan (coconut milk)
1 egg white
Let’s Cook the Agar agar
Prepare the required ingredients. I used fresh thick santan (coconut milk), optional to used store bought packet santan too.
– Adding additional Dark brown sugar , is just to increase the brown coloring in the jelly.
– I used only egg white, in order to reduce the egg smell in the jelly.
Take a small pot, boil about 450ml water. Add in the crushed gula melaka & 1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar (optional) and make the syrup.
Off the heat, strain the syrup to another pot.
In separate bowl – whisk the thick santan and white egg together.
( this step will ensure the egg white disburse evenly in the hot jelly mixture later).
Once the agar-agar getting dissolve (half way), pour in the gula melaka syrup.
Let the agar-agar and gula melaka syrup boil until the jelly dissolved completely.
Add white sugar as needed, estimate about 1-2 tablespoon.
Remove the daun pandan out from the pot.
Slowly pour in the santan-egg mixture into the jelly pot.
Give a quick stir, to get the scrambled texture. Increase the heat to medium high, let it to boil for another 2 minutes only. Do not over boil the agar -agar after adding the santan-egg mixture too.
Off the heat. It’s done.
