Lychee Koi Fish Jelly 荔枝鲤鱼果冻

Chinese New Year is just around the corner and this is my last post before the celebration. I’ve shared my Koi Fish Jelly recipes in previous years. As fish is considered a lucky symbol for Chinese New Year, so this time around, I tweaked the recipe with lychee filling. This lychee koi fish jelly is very easy and quick to prepare and it’s very refreshing too with a tinge of lemon grass fragrance. Definitely great to serve these lovely koi fish jellies during the Chinese New holidays and I’m sure everyone will be very delighted to receive this as a gift too.

Mix fresh milk with 1 tablespoon agar agar liquid in a small bowl. Use a brush and dip into the milk liquid, then brush quickly on to the fish mould body and set aside.
Pour blended lychee and 1-2 drops of rose pink colouring into the agar agar liquid and stir to boil again at medium heat. Off heat and cool down the lychee liquid mixture a little. Then gently pour the lychee liquid into the fish mould from the tail side, so that the fish eyes will not drop off easily and chill for at least 2-3 hours to set or overnight.
