Red Bean Konnyaku Jelly



I was in the mood for some jelly and red bean jelly to be exact. The only jelly powder I had in my pantry was Konnyaku jelly powder, so Konnyaku jelly it was. I bought some mooncake jelly molds when I was in Malaysia last year so I thought this would be the perfect time to use it or open ceremony with it like we Chinese said. I do love this molds, making the jelly looking ultra cute. I wanted to make a red bean jelly because I had a canned of red bean and making a red bean jelly was much easier than making a red bean kuih even though both tasted great. Also I got to use my new jelly molds. :)





Here's my easy, refreshing and delicious red bean jelly recipe. No pre-cooking of red bean required. ;)

Ingredients:


(A)

  • One packet of Redman Konnyaku jelly powder (10gm)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 750ml water
  • 200ml whole milk (you can use skim or 2%)
  • One 475g (16.75oz) canned whole red bean (shelled) for dessert topping


Method:


1. In a bowl, mix (A) together and whisk to combine. Set aside.


2. In a medium pot, add 750ml water to boil. When boiling, add in (A). Whisk until sugar dissolved. Add milk and red bean, whisk to blend well.


3. Pour into jelly molds of your choice. Let it cool at room temperature before transferring it to harden completely in the refrigerator. Roughly 2-3 hours.
Serve chilled.

I had a lot of agar agar and konnyaku but never have any with read bean. Must be really good. I really like the mooncake mould design on the jelly. Beautiful.

When I first saw Red Bean Konnyaku Jelly, I couldn't imagine how it will taste like. I tried making them once after viewing your blog. The jelly came out so yummy :D I will make them again this Saturday for my friend's farewell party. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Hi just saw this receipe of yours. Wonder where do you get the red bean from...I am a red bean lover will like to try out the receipe. Will cutting down of sugar affect the jelly texture....

Little Corner of Mine said...

Hi Anon,
Cutting down on sugar won't affect the texture of the jelly. I got the canned red beans at the Asian supermarket canned fruits (lychee, longan, etc.) aisle.

Hi Little Corner of Mine,

Where do you buy the Konnyaku jelly packages because I've look everywhere but can't ones, and the moulds too!

Thank you in advance.

Little Corner of Mine said...

Hi Anon, I stocked up while back in M'sia or asked people coming over to get it for me. The moulds I got it at "Ng Ming Huat" in Johor Bahru. I hope I got the store name correct. :P
