Agar-agar jelly - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute agar-agar with gelatin, but the texture will be softer. Use 1 tablespoon of gelatin for every 2 teaspoons of agar-agar and dissolve it properly before mixing.
The jelly can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep it covered to prevent it from absorbing other odors.
Yes, since agar-agar is a plant-based gelling agent, this recipe is vegan-friendly as long as no animal-derived ingredients are added.
Absolutely! You can use any fruit juice or puree, such as mango, raspberry, or orange, to create different flavors of jelly.
To make it firmer, increase the agar-agar slightly (by 1/4 tsp). For a softer texture, reduce the agar-agar by the same amount.
Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture, making it watery when thawed. Refrigeration is the best storage method.
Yes, you can replace sugar with a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol, but adjust the amount based on sweetness preference.
Dip the mold briefly in warm water for a few seconds, then gently invert it onto a plate. This helps release the jelly smoothly.
