Japanese agar-agar

Today in cooking class we played with made agar-agar!

Agar-agar is a jelly-like substance in long, translucent strands that resembles shredded plastic. They need to soak until they soften and then boil in water to be dissolved completely. Then we added some color. Sodexho had some chilled beforehand so that we could cut them up and cover them in powered sugar before eating!
