Almond Bean Curd

Almond Bean Curd

I think the fragrance of the almond extract complement nicely with the soy milk. You can get the ready-mixed almond flavoured agar-agar packages from the shop but it is quite simple to make from just with some basic ingredients.

Ingredients:

1. Approximate 900ml sweetened soy milk
2. 2 tbsp almond extract or essence (to taste)
3. 4 tbsp sugar (to taste0
4. 10g of plain agar-agar (pre-soak for 20 mins) or 2 tsp of plain agar-agar powder
5. Few sliced peaches for decoration

Slowly heat the soy milk and then add the almond extract and sugar, stir to dissolve. Bring the mixture to boil. Add agar-agar and stir well until fully dissolved. Pour into a square container or mould. Leave to cool until set and keep it cold in the fridge.

Serves the almond bean curd cold and cut to diamond shapes and decorated it with the peaches.
