10g agar agar strands
350ml fresh coconut milk
350ml water
85g caster sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
Method
First soak the agar agar in a bowl of water for 10 minutes until softened. Drain and cut the strands in half and pop into a saucepan. Add the coconut milk and water to the pan and bring to the boil. Simmer over moderately high heat, stirring frequently and keeping a close eye so it does not bubble over. Cook until all the agar agar strands have completely dissolved, about 15-20 minutes. Turn the heat off, add the sugar and salt, stirring until both are completely dissolved.
Pour into a container, approximately 17cm x 12cm x 5cm, let it set at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate. The jelly will stay fresh and moist for several days if covered in 1cm of cold water. Cut into diamonds or slices and serve. It should be firm enough to pick up with your fingers.
