Konnyaku Jelly

Originally I wanted to make some egg agar agar but decided to make them with konnyaku jelly.

Pour some of the jelly into empty egg shell and added some slices of peaches.

Set in the fridge and when they are harden, cracked the shell and you can see the egg jelly with the fruit inside. It is fun and interesting.

I make some with the different jelly moulds.

For the recipes you can view this video from Phoon Huat.
