I’ve tried to make kohakutou like 5 times now and it won’t work, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I have the right kind of agar agar and I thought I followed the recipe as closely as possible but it’s ended up with this texture every time. I’m going insane 😭 Can anyone tell what I’m doing wrong?

  1. Also is there any way I can save this batch? I’ve wasted so much sugar and I really don’t want to waste any more

  2. Is that after its refrigerated? When I’ve made it for myself I found that the two mistakes I would make was either not enough agar agar (which looks like what’s happening with yours) or reducing the sugar too much.

    Also, I’ve found that different agar agar have different properties to based by brand so maybe that’s it?

    Regardless, I’d start with adding more agar agar powder, and refrigerate. At least you’ll be able to eat that batch that way
