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

does that mean I dont need to boil it to get it to thicken liquid?

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

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 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.

This is by far the most helpful video I've seen about Agar Agar. Thank you!!

Yr amazing love the way you explain everything

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.

This is brilliant. Thank you for the tips !!

I just made some today! Of course as usual I do everything backwards and watched this afterwards lol! It turned out decent.

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.

Pailin u r explained all my questions.Thanks dear.your English & way of talking is amazing.God bless you

Excellent, thank you for explaining and showing! I like the comments too that added more tips.

I am so grateful for this video. I am watching you from Ghana in West Africa.

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

This was very helpful. I now know what I was doing wrong when using agar agar as a vegetarian substitute to make fondant. Thank you!

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?

Can agar agar be used to stabilise whipping cream? If yes then how? Please help!

Thank you soo much for this video. Had been searching through the net for this for long time. 🙂🙂

Thank you for this viddy!!!! Great to hear, I do have some questions though. which one will hold better to make noodles, with a broth around 110f-130f?

Thanks for giving us helpful tips and information about how to cook with agar agar!

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 very much for this professional video tips and suggestions. I ,however, have a question. Is it the same procedure using chocolate and agar-agar as a glossy topping cake?

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.?

Thank you just I saw that agar agar , I thought what is agar agar ? You explained very well. You should be a good teacher 👏👌

Thankyou so much for your lovely tips.Last Sunday I prepared China grass with agar agar it came good but still not firm but little soft. Could you advise what was my mistake.

I’ve always wondered how to make the type of jelly that is firmer than. I was told to add flavour after whatever you’re using is cooled but would that work with Agar or will it be too late because it would set too quickly at room temperature?

I really love your positive personality...

thanks, much needed video :) i have the stick type agar agar so i soaked it for 15 mins then blended it into thin paste in my small blender jar.....looks like it will work :)

Thanks for your explanation about this product 😊

Hey thank you so much! This video is very helpful 🥰

Thanks I really needed these

You have explained it so well... great !!

Thank u so much for ur video...was soo informative..helped me through my tough time at kitchen...kudos 👍🏼👏🏼

thank you for this video! What's the ratio of gelatin powder to agar agar powder? I'm covering some recipes to vegan ones.

That was very helpful, thank you!

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! ☺

Thank you for the explanation.

Thank you so much for this. I'm new to Agar Agar and the way you explained this was exemplary, easy to understand, step by step. Thank you once again.

hello. enjoyed watching this informative video. Can you use Tapioca starch (or powder) for Agar agar?

We got plenty here in the PHILIPPINES. Agar agar cold healthy snacks. I use powder now and i have tried a block before.

Philippines , I am million of you fans. Godbless, goodluck and more power for your cooking lesson

thanks for the comparison descriptions!

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

Super cool explanation n beautiful work

By following all the step of your recipe, can thes be kept for an indefinite time ..Like months without to be kept refrigerated ?... Thanks for your time

Thank you for sharing your great recipe and tips!🙏🏻🥰👌🏻😋

You given into is so helpful Thanks a million !

Thank you so much for this! I went to buy powder at the Japanese supermarket and they gave me strings in packs where everything is written in Korean only... I didn't even know where to find help, and I found you! Any tips on flakes? I have flakes too.

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

Regarding the apx 1.3 cup water to be added to 1 tsp of agar agar; how much fruit puree should I include please? Should I discount the amount of 'pure water' used for dissolving by a certain amount to account for the puree? Thanks.

Very informative video, thank you!

Excellent video ! We love you !

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

Very informative all that I needed to know thanks a lot

Thanks for your explanation. I like it .you look proffecional teacher. Keep up.

Excellent video! Thank you.

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. :)

She speaks so well and is so straight to the point, wow. Subscribed

Hi, thank a lot of the video. I just subscribe to your channel. Does cooking the agar agar longer, or soak it longer make it ‘more sticky’? One receipt I made it three times. One time it was so ‘sticky’ the agar agar actually ‘set’ before I can pour it. Any advice? Thanks. 😀

Well done, video! Would agar agar possibly keep a vegan “meatball” from crumbling in tomato sauce? IE, would it gel the mixture more firmly? Thanks! 👍

such a great help! Thank u ♡

I love the jelly recipes. Wish i am there to enjoy the cooking by you. More jelly recipes. Uma from Malaysia. Thanks

agar agar threads we have to put in boiling water after soaking . Or we have to put it in slower flame and stir till it melt

This was really helpful!

Thanks, very well explained

Main ingredient used in petri dishes to grow bacteria 👌 makes sense why it would be a substitute for gelatin

Hello can i make a chocolate mirror glaze with it??? How would you recommend to do so,?

you can grind it like black pepper

Can I grind the thread type in my magic bullet. Would i then be able to treat it like the powdered packet types.

Is it ok if i direct heat noodles type agar agar in to pan and after dissolve put my flavour in to it coz socking in water may makes flavour lighter coz of water contain.

I just used about 2/3 teaspoons of the flakes to juices at the bottom of a wok from vegetables I'd been cooking on the stove for filling for spring rolls and I boiled it for 3 mins or so and mixed it into the veggies and now there is no more liquid at the bottom of the pan. So I guess it worked. I'll remember your tip that one tsp is enough to gelatinize more than 300 mls of liquid. I'm still unclear as to whether the boiling is really necessary or is it enough to add to warm liquid just to thicken it?

Im so grateful thank you !

Thank u, beautifully explained. Didn't feel u an youtuber rather like my family member

Loved ur tips 😍😍thanks for the info sissy

Very helpful. Thank you !

Thanks for de video ! I would like to ask if it has to be stored in a fridge, and how many days do you think it would last. Thanks in advance !

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.

Have you tried to make a mirror glaze with agar agar? What if I want to substitute agar agar for a recipe that calls for gelatin? Is it a one to one ratio?

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! :)

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.

Great job, Live your explanation. Making fruit gummies do I need to add preservatives. If yes what us a natural product.

Can you add alcohol to it? If I wanted a spiked fruit cube using agar what would be a good ratio or is that something that will set properly?

Hello there,, love ur videos. I have this question, the ans to which I couldn't find anywhere on the internet. If I mix agar woh water, will it set into a jelly on it's own or does have to have sugar or some sort of purée or ingredient in it. Please help

hi do you have to account your flavouring mass to the agar agar? like say you add 300ml of water to 1 tsp of agar agar, then add 150 ml of flavouring, do you have to add 1.5 tsp of agar agar instead of 1 tsp to compensate? do you have any tips if adding this flavoured mixture to a cheesecake base?
