How to Make Sweet Potato Jelly Agar
- Steam 500g sweet potatoes until very soft (about 30-40 minutes).
- Combine the steamed sweet potatoes and 200ml coconut milk in a blender until completely smooth.
- Strain the sweet potato-coconut mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
- In a small saucepan, combine 4g agar-agar powder, 100g sugar, 200ml water, and 2-3 pandan leaves (or 1 tsp pandan extract). Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the agar-agar is completely dissolved (about 2-3 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Gently stir in the strained sweet potato and coconut mixture. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled or wet mold (such as a loaf pan, ramekins, or silicone mold).
- Let the jelly set at room temperature for at least 2 hours, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before cutting into desired shapes.
