I was really amazed when I saw my ex-colleague, Liz did these Agar Agar Mooncakes and excitedly wanted to make it myself even though the Festival has been over.
My first attempt failed when the Soya Milk skin turned out very soft and also it was difficult to get it out from the mould. With my 2nd attempt, I decided to increase the Agar Agar powder from 2 tsp to 4 tsp and this time, it turned out excellent. They could also be taken out from the mould effortlessly. The taste was indeed wonderful, not sweet with the light soya flavour and the cooling sensation made it a wonderful dessert for on a hot afternoon. Thanks to Liz and Rachel for this recipe.
