Recipe

Slice the carrot into 7–8mm thick pieces and steam them over high heat for 5 minutes in a steamer.
Let the steamed carrots cool for 5 minutes, then blend them with 2 cups (400ml) of fresh water in a blender for 1 minute until smooth.
Pour the blended carrot puree into a pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer while stirring for 5 minutes.
Mix 1 tablespoon of agar powder into half a cup (100ml) of fresh water until dissolved, then add it to the pot along with 2 pinches of salt and stir well.
Continue cooking gently for about 3 minutes until the agar is fully incorporated, then turn off the heat and let it cool to lukewarm for 10 minutes.
Once the mixture reaches lukewarm temperature, add 2 tablespoons of honey and mix thoroughly.
Pour the mixture into heat-resistant containers that have been briefly rinsed with cold water to ensure clean release, level the surface, and let it set at room temperature for 2 hours.
Gently press the edges of the solidified carrot jelly to loosen it from the container, then cut into desired serving sizes.

Steam the carrot for 5 minutes, then blend with water until smooth.
Boil the carrot puree, then add the dissolved agar and salt to thicken.
Cool to lukewarm, mix in honey, pour into containers, and let set at room temperature for 2 hours.

Cooking tips

Honey should be added only after the mixture has cooled to lukewarm, not hot, to preserve its aroma and sweetness.
Rinsing the heat-resistant container with cold water before pouring in the mixture ensures the finished jelly releases cleanly.
In summer, the jelly may not set properly at room temperature—cool slightly first, then refrigerate until fully set.
