How to choose fresh, quality chicken eggs
- Eggshell: Fresh eggs will have a thin white powdery layer on the outside, and feel rough or heavy to the touch. If the eggshell is smooth, shiny, or has cracks, it means the eggs have been stored for a long time and are not fresh.
- Shine a light: You can shine a light on the chicken egg using a lamp or by rolling a piece of newspaper and shining it under sunlight. If you see the air chamber of the egg is still small, the yolk is round and stationary, and the white is clear with an orange-red or light pink color, then it is a fresh egg. In the case of old eggs, they will be red with many moving veins surrounding a large air chamber.
- Shake gently: Hold the egg up to your ear and shake it gently; if you hear a sound, it is an old egg that has been stored for a long time. If you don’t hear anything but feel strong movement inside, it is a rotten egg, possibly from a hen that is still incubating,… Fresh eggs will make very little noise or even no sound when shaken.
- If possible, you should use a 10% salt solution to drop the egg into. If the egg sinks to the bottom of the water, it is a fresh egg laid that day. If the egg floats to the surface, it has been stored for more than 5 days.

Cook the cheese jelly
Put into pot 5gr of jelly powder, 150gr of sugar, and 500ml of water, stir well for the mixture to dissolve completely.
Then place the pot on the stove and cook over medium heat, making sure to stir continuously to prevent the mixture from clumping. Cook until boiling, then add the cheese directly into the pot, stir until the cheese completely dissolves, then reduce the heat and skim off the foam that rises to the surface.
Tip: When cooking the cheese, you can also puree the cheese first before adding it to the pot. -
Cooking coconut jelly
After buying the coconut, cut it open to collect the water and the coconut flesh, then cut the coconut flesh into small strands.
Similar to the cheese jelly part, add 200ml of water, 300ml of coconut water, 100gr of sugar, and 5gr of jelly powder into a pot, stirring well (you can adjust the sugar amount to suit your taste).
Place the pot on the stove and cook over medium heat until boiling, then reduce the heat and directly add the coconut strands into the pot, stirring evenly for about 1 – 2 minutes before turning off the heat.
-
Pouring jelly into molds
Pour a layer of cheese jelly into the prepared mold, wait about 15 – 20 minutes until a slightly firm skin forms on the surface, then use a spoon to scoop the coconut jelly and pour it on top of the cheese jelly layer, being gentle to avoid breaking the jelly layer below.
Let the jelly cool and then place it in the refrigerator for about 1 – 2 hours, then take the jelly out; when serving, you can cut it into bite-sized pieces and enjoy.
Tip: To prevent the jelly from setting too firmly when pouring into the mold, you can cook the jelly over low heat while pouring to maintain warmth. -

Tips for successful execution
- Continuously stir the agar during cooking to prevent it from burning.
- When cooking the agar mixture, just bring it to a slight boil; do not let it boil too vigorously, as this will cause the agar to lose its firmness.
- For the part of the agar mixture that has not been used, keep it on low heat to stay warm or turn off the stove, cover the pot tightly, and wrap it in a towel so the mixture remains warm and does not solidify.
- For layered agar, you should wait for the first layer to form a skin and become slightly firm on the surface before adding the second layer on top. Avoid adding the second layer while the first is still loose, as they will quickly mix together.
- If the agar layer has completely set, you can poke holes evenly over the surface with a toothpick before pouring the next layer, which will increase the adhesion between the two agar layers.
Where to buy the ingredients?
- Currently, agar powder and cheese are available at grocery stores, supermarkets, on e-commerce sites, or you can find a full range of ingredients at the TasteVN store system.
