fresh water 6 cups

perilla oil 1 tablespoon

Recipe

In a pot, add 1 cup of acorn starch powder and 6 cups of fresh water, mixing thoroughly until no lumps remain.
Leave the mixture undisturbed on the stove without turning on the heat for 30 minutes to fully soak the flour.
Turn on medium heat and continuously stir in one direction to prevent sticking to the bottom.
When the mixture becomes thick and starts to bubble up, immediately reduce the heat to low.
Set a timer for 30 minutes from this point and continue stirring without pause.
13 minutes before completion, add 1/2 tablespoon of salt to season while continuing to stir.
5 minutes before completion, add 1 tablespoon of perilla oil to enhance shine and richness.
After 30 minutes, turn off the heat, pour the mixture into a heat-resistant glass container, and shake gently to level the surface.
Let it cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour to fully set.

Mix acorn starch powder and water in a 1:6 ratio, then soak without heat for 30 minutes.
Stir over medium heat until thickened, then reduce to low heat and stir continuously for 30 minutes.
Season with salt and add perilla oil at the end, then transfer to a container and let cool.

Cooking tips

Soaking the flour for 30 minutes before heating results in significantly chewier and more elastic jelly.
Constant stirring in one direction without stopping prevents burning or clumping.
Use a glass airtight container free from environmental hormones for safe cooling.
