So I always see these cute Japanese jelly things all over Singapore but never bought them because it never came in English instructions. I've started to notice the increase of these boxes in asian stores here in Perth as well so I decided to give it a go.
I bought a sushi one from Kong's in Victoria Park. As expected, all the instructions are in Japanese but there's a lot of diagrams in the back so I tried my luck anyhow!
The moment I opened the package I could smell the familiar lollies fragrance. It came with a mould that had letters and numbers to make it easier to follow the pictures in the back yay.
I poured the 'rice powder' in the tray marked 1 then poured water until it created a fluffy cloud looking shape.
I later realized that the dip meant that you should fill the water to the marked lines before adding the powder. Whoops.
The others pretty much followed the same procedure. You filled it up to the line with water and mix it with the powder. The instructions were actually quite easy to follow. Much easier than I expected.
The coolest part of the kit was making the fish balls. I had SO much fun doing this. You basically mix the two powders in the respective 'A' and 'B' mould and you transfer the orange solution into the blue solution with a pipette looking thing that was provided. The moment the orange liquid hit the blue liquid it instantly made tiny circular fish eggs!
There was a seaweed dough that you rolled out as well, and yup I did a horrible job at it. There was also soy sauce! It's awesome how they go into such details with this set.
Overall putting the set together was so much fun. I only tried the fish eggs and it was sweet and popped in my mouth just like a real fish egg! I didn't really try the rest because, well I don't know it was powder and I felt weird eating it for some reason.
Definitely going to go and make some other sets of these. ^^
