How to make Koi Fish Jelly

Want to create something sweet and auspicious for Chinese New Year? Let's make this simple Koi Fish Jelly! In Chinese culture, it's crucial to include something symbolic particularly fish, as the word for fish (鱼 yú) sounds like (余 yú) meaning abundance. The tradition is to always have fish on the table during Lunar New Year for 年年有余 (nián nián yǒu yú), signifying abundance of good wealth and health in the coming year. Who wouldn't want the New Year to bring more blessings than needed? Grab a koi fish mold from my shop collection now—link in profile

4 1/2 tsp agar agar powder
1 koi fish mold
4 Raisin to make the eyes
Red & yellow food coloring

2) Scoop 1-2 tbsp of the boiled jelly mixture into 2 bowls. Then add a few drops of food coloring to the bowls, mix well.
3) Using back of the spoon, paint the insides of the fish jelly moulds with the colored jelly, to mimic the strips of a koi fish. Place mould in the fridge to set.
