kanten recipe??

[mmc]

i love the kanten at souen. it's perfect.
but every kanten recipe i have tried turns out more like jello, harder. the souen kanten is more like a pudding consistency. it's like a little fluffy dream. anybody have any ideas how they get it that way, or am i just doing something wrong??
thanks!!

Greetings from the land of Israel: to make kanten recipes turn out more like "custard," it's important to use the amount of liquid and kanten that the recipe calls for in the recipe. After the flakes are added, bring to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes as the recipe should say. Then, one extra step---use 1 tablespoon of Kuzu for each cup of liquid. Dilute the kuzu in a tablespoon of water and then add to the hot liquid --- The consistency at the end should be more custard like instead of "jello" like.
Good luck -- Annie
