Water Chestnut Jelly

On the hot and sweaty days, kids would not reject any offering of Jelly. I used egg shells as the jelly mould. To make it much "cooling", I use sugar cane stock and add shredded water
chestnuts into it, to give extra texture.To add to the variety, fish and flower shape moulds are used to make the kids happier.Ingredient:

• 10 Water Chestnuts (peeled, finely shredded)


• 25g (1 pckt) Agar-agar Powder


• 2 Tbsp Water


• 50g Cane Sugar (optional)


• 1250ml Sugar Cane Stock

Method:

1. Add cane sugar into sugar cane stock. Bring to boil than simmer until sugar dissolved.


2. In a small bowl, mixed agar-agar powder with 2 Tbsps water. Stir until dissolved.


3. Pour agar-agar solution into sugar cane stock. Continue simmer for ~15 minutes.


4. Add shredded water chestnut. Stir well.


5. Turn off the heat and leave aside for ~ 10 minutes. Pour the jelly into moulds. Chill jelly in the refrigerator.

Points to highlight: As sugar cane is sweet, additional sugar might not be necessary. Use a stick (I used chopstick), to stir up the water chestnut shreds, prevent from sinking to the bottom of the mould, especially the egg shell.
