yes that should still work. :)

I found the kind of instant agar powder you can buy from Chinese supermarkets in my pantry, would that work as well? It has added sugar so I’ll just subtract it from the total sugar in the recipe.

Hi Shirley,

Thanks for sharing the recipe. What’s the difference between kanten and agar powder? I bought kanten from Japan thinking it was the same as agar powder…

I think as long as you can find the roundish shape container, it should work but shape might just vary slightly. Usually those 100 yen stores in Japan will carry such ball shape containers, usually they are sold as ice tray – to make round rice balls.

Sorry for the delay in reply. Its 8g of agar powder! not kanten ;) please use agar as kanten will give it a different texture

wow you are one angry person. Yes there was a typo, it should be 8g of agar powder and I have edited the post.

Great stuff, you helped me out so much!

Is there a typo in the instructions? It’s not 16g of agar agar but 1.6g of agar agar rather? 16g of kanten seems like it would make the jelly very hard?

Hi..interested to make this water mochi.may i know where to get this ball.shape mold? Can i replace it with round shape muffin pan and chill? Thanks
