Tokoroten - Summer Foods
Tokoroten is made from strips of agar-agar, a gelatin like substance made from algae from the sea. To prepare the agar, all you need to do is dissolve it in warm water and then pour them into containers until they set before you cut them into noodles and serve cold with a vinegar base like dressing.
Unlike gelatin, agar contains no animal protein, so this completely vegetarian snack is refreshing as it is cooling for the summer, fit for ALL.
