Tenyose Jelly Cake ｜ Our Regional Cuisines

1. Wash the kanten bars, remove any debris, and soak in water for 30 minutes.

2. To a pot with the measured amount of water, add 1, which has been squeezed thoroughly to remove any liquid and torn into small pieces, and dissolve over a medium to low heat.

3. Boil the somen noodles and rinse them in cold water.

4. Once the kanten has dissolved, add the sugar, salt, and food coloring, and stir to combine. When the mixture comes to a boil, turn off, and remove from the heat.

5. Pour the mixture into a moistened container (such as a kanten jelly mold) and when it cools down a little (before the kanten liquid hardens), arrange the cooked somen noodles (to your liking) on top so they look like they are floating and refrigerate to set.
