"Daisycooks" Episode 1!

So...after much dragging and slacking..

I have decided to start up a cooking diary of my own in my blog!

Like a sub-topic with it's own episodes.

If I'm diligent enough to keep it going hahaha.

I'm naming it as "daisycooks".

Sounds like nonsense right, I mean when does flowers ever cook it's not human.

But thinking about it, how they undergo photosynthesis etc to make their own food,

sounds legit to fit in!

So today I'm showing you a super EASY dessert I made the other time round for my bro's welcome party!

Konnyaku Jelly!

It's easy to make with simple ingredients.

 

This is a must.

You can't make Konnyaku Jelly without Konnyaku Jelly Powder right :P

There's actually a few brands that manufactures this product.

Any brand will do just fine, just be aware that malic acid needs to be added in!

For SingLong's brand, it's already added.

You can add in fruits such as Longan, Lychee, Pineapple or any that is up to your liking.

You can even omit it if you want to!

I was kind of rushing for time for this, so I got the canned fruit Lychee!

Well, I know it shows Longan up there, but that's because my dad got me expired one that I had to go and buy.

 

Got my favorite fruit of all times: Strawberries!

Fresh from Australia.

Ingredients summed up:

250g Konnyaku Jelly Powder

Fruits(Fresh/Canned) Optional.

800-1000ml of water.

250ml of canned fruit juice/ sugar can be used

*800ml of water is recommended for 250g of powder as 1000ml turned out my jelly as slightly watery and not as firm.

 

Slice up the fruits into tiny pieces so you can stuff your jelly with loads of it!

 

Add in your Jelly Powder into the mixture of water and juice/sugar.

 

While slicing your fruits, do remember to stir your konnyaku jelly mixture consistently.

Why?

Because it tends to jelli-fy quite quickly and easily!

You don't want your whole saucepan to be filled with firm jelly.

When you see that your jelly mixture is fully dissolved of the powder and it's clear looking,

you can start filling up your konnyaku jelly tray!

I think my mum got it from those stores that just sells baking stuff, like Phoon Huat Specialty stores at Ang Mo Kio and Simei.

Fill it up with fruits and mixture while it's hot/warm and allow it cool under a fan before refrigerating it for about 3 hours or even overnight.

And it's done!

 No end shot, my apologies :(

P.S. What do you think about my Daisycooks idea.

Feasible or not?
