Derived from a South East Asian seaweed, agar agar is a dairy-free substitute for gelatine.
What is it?
As agar agar is derived from plants, not animals, vegetarians and vegans like it as a substitute for any dish that contains gelatin. It can generally be found in Asian supermarkets, health food stores or online, as flakes or powder. It has no taste, odour or colour and sets more firmly than gelatin and can even set at room temperature. Agar agar gives a sensation of fullness, leading it to be used in some diet products. In Asia it is also sometimes used as a digestive remedy for upset stomachs.
Ways to use it?
Agar agar can be used in any dairy-free, vegan recipe that calls for gelatin as a thickening agent, including sauces, jelly-based desserts, custards and puddings.
How to use it?
Use 2 tsp of agar flakes to every cup of liquid in a recipe. Like gelatin, it needs to be dissolved in liquid by bringing it to a boil over medium heat and then simmering until thickened, approximately five minutes. Set and chill in refrigerator before use.
