Properties of Konnyaku Jelly (quoted from Phoon Huat Website)

High in fibre, Konnyaku helps to activate the function of the intestines for detoxification which can go a long way to prevent intestinal cancer. The weight conscious will love the fact that Konnyaku is low in calories while the fast expanding substance helps to give the feeling that the stomach is full. Health, taste and texture, it's jolly good jelly!


Lychee Konnyaku Jelly

First,prepare the jelly moulds by putting in the lychee pieces.

The heart shaped one is for K... a good idea for V day gift if its too last minute or inconvenient to bake a cake. :)

Next, prepare the water in a saucepan, add in konnyaku jelly powder, the lychee syrup water from the can and sugar. The ratio of water to powder is use is 700ml of water to half packet of powder.  Switch on the gas and start to stir the mixture with a whisk until it boils.

Off the gas once the mixture boils , continue stirring till there is no bubbles. Pour mixture into jelly moulds, 1/3 of the mould at a time. Chill in fridge for at least 3 hours before serving.

Plum Green Tea Konyyaku Jelly (J's invention)

What you need:
Plums, Green tea (bottled), Sugar to taste

Cut the plum pieces into the jelly moulds

Same thing as per above, mix the konnyaku jelly powder, sugar and green tea in the saucepan and bring to boil. Off gas after mixture boils, stir until bubbles disappear.

Pour mixture into prepared jelly moulds. Leave to chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Alternative for the plums, you may want to make it more 'exciting' by using the plum in the choya plum wine. ;p

Personally i have not tried it, its just a wild idea... if you lao sai don't look for me. I am still thinking what to do with those plums, guess will treat them as tidbits. Slurp!
