Agar-agar is an odorless and tasteless vegetarian substitute for gelatin extracted from seaweed. Dishes made with agar will be firmer, less creamy, and jiggly than gelatin ones. Agar-agar recipes also stay firm when exposed to higher temperatures.
Agar-agar is used as a vegetarian alternative to gelatin in various dishes, including puddings, mousses, jellies, ice cream, gummy candies, and cheesecake. It is an important ingredient in the Japanese dessert anmitsu, which calls for kanten jelly, a mixture of agar-agar, water, and sugar.
Before agar can be added to a recipe, it needs to be dissolved in water and then boiled; it cannot be dissolved in a liquid or added directly to food. Dissolve the agar in a liquid in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring to a boil, and then simmer until slightly thickened about five to seven minutes.
Use 1 teaspoon of Agar-agar powder to thicken 1 cup of liquid.
