Aquarium Jelly






那天的大彩“titanic”了!喝了杨枝甘露,天算是有降一点甘露,有给我赢1350安慰一下。。。所以要赢一笔钱去环游世界的梦灭了,还是回到自己的厨房默默耕耘吧!

在巴厘岛贪小便宜买回来的agar agar粉,陪我玩了漫长的一个下午。明明就是简单的agar agar,却是做到没完没了。最后完工,觉得还挺满意的,欣然拿去给老公看,他静静还好,一出声comment就气死人。他问我,怎么你的鱼都是死鱼,一只只浮在水面,反肚了的鱼!我解释说,它们是出来水面呼吸和吃鱼料,你不会就不要comment。后来,他就给了一大堆意见,那个鱼应该这样那样的。我说这是手工嘛。。又不是真实的,再说我也没有3D小鱼的模很难可以让鱼儿有立体感。而且拍照也要看到那些鱼才可以啊。这样一人一句,最后我叫他去厨房,我另外再煮一锅jelly叫他当场示范怎样才叫生鱼。。。哈哈。。。结果他的一个也没成,鱼都沉入海底,一只也看不到哈哈。。。我赢!

食材:          Ingredient:
7g 燕菜粉      7g agar agar powder
150g 砂糖      150g caster sugar 
800ml水         800ml water
3pandan叶  3 pandan leaves
100g西米粒    100g sago
一滴蓝色素     1 drop of blue food colouring

装饰:                   Decorations:
蓝莓                       Blue berries
草莓(切成鱼形)strawberries (cut into fish shape)

做法/ Method
1)将1500ml水煮滚,倒入西米粒,不断搅拌,至水再次滚起,熄火。把锅盖盖上。焖西米10分钟。再开火煮西米至水滚起,熄火,焖10分钟。(重复做法至西米完全熟透,不见白点)。用筛把熟西米剩起,冲冷水至西米冷却。备用。

Boil 1500ml water. When the water is boiling, add the sago. Occasionally stir the sago to prevent sticking and cook until the water boil again and turn off the stove. Cover the pot with a lid for 10 minutes. Boil the sago again until it comes to boil again, turn off the stove and cover with lid for 10 minutes. (Continue to do this until sago is translucent and cook). Rinse the cooked sago through a sieve with running water. This will remove the excess starch. Set aside.

2) 将燕菜,糖,水和pandan叶一起煮至滚,熄火。加入一滴蓝色素,搅匀。

Mix agar agar powder, sugar, water and pandan leaves together and cook until boiling. Add a drop of blue food colouring and stir to mix well.


3)将西米铺在容器底部(成海底沙石),倒入燕菜至容器的一半。待稍微凝结,排上蓝莓(成海底石块),排上切成鱼状的草莓。用牙签在半凝结的燕菜上画上几画。把剩余的燕菜再度煮热,然后倒入模子至全满。

Scatter sago at the bottom of the mould, pour the agar agar until half of the mould. Wait until it is set slightly, arrange the blueberries and strawberries(fish) onto the jelly. Use a tooth pick to scratch the surface of the jelly. Reboil the rest of the jelly and pour into the mould. Chill the jelly until set completely.
