Homemade black caviar from agar agar. Artificial red caviar from seaweed

Agree, sometimes you want something like that, which was previously only seen on TV screens. It’s about the same story with black caviar, since its cost does not allow you to fully take your soul away. Even on holidays, and then gritting your teeth, you can afford a delicacy.

I immediately remember either an anecdote, or something like that, I won’t lie - I don’t remember corny when tyulki sat and gouged out their eyes for the holiday. Like, this is what a rich table we will set, with black caviar. Funny, but so vital. However, it’s funny only in a joke, and not when he was still vouchsafed to buy, but instead of an expensive and desired delicacy, they slipped a fake for fabulous money. Now that's sadness. However, this is all poetry.

So, following the industrial fraud, we are stepping. Joke. Let's see how to make fake black caviar with your own hands. To do this, we need not so many ingredients: gelatin (it can be replaced with agar-agar if desired), soy sauce (preferably of excellent quality, the taste of the "dish" depends on it), vegetable oil, water, a syringe, a small saucepan and Bowl. We take gelatin with the calculation of 1 sachet per 150 ml of soy sauce. If this is some kind of big holiday, then just add in increments, just do not overdo it. It is better to first see how much it will turn out with a minimum ingredient, and only then figure out how much more you can use.

So, vegetable oil is poured into a small glass or a stack of 100 grams, placed in the freezer for about an hour. It should become very cold, but not freeze, not thicken. Pour gelatin with water and let it swell for an hour (it is better to do this in advance). Pour soy sauce into the finished gelatin mixture and put it all on the fire to boil. Bringing the gelatin-soy mixture to a boil, cook for 30 seconds, no more. Remove from heat and pour into prepared container to cool slightly.

From the freezer we take out our glass with chilled vegetable oil. We take a syringe (without a needle) and collect our black mixture from a bowl. And now we are gaining patience, there is a very painstaking work ahead. Squeezing the gelatin-soy mixture drop by drop into a glass of vegetable oil, we need all 150 ml of the prepared "solution". Droplets that fall into a glass of cold oil immediately turn into dark circles, reminiscent of a coveted delicacy.

When the entire mixture has been transferred and black caviar has formed, we overturn the entire contents of the glass into a colander and rinse with water to rid the finished product of vegetable oil. That's all, black caviar is ready. With its help, you can decorate any dish, or just eat with a spoon, if you have chosen not only high-quality soy sauce for making, but also delicious. As you can see, there is nothing complicated either in cooking or in the composition of homemade black caviar. In a similar way, you can cook red, although it is more affordable, but more on that another time.

Overseas caviar... Orange!

or "molecular cuisine to life"

Recipe from maria_selyanina :She didn’t just enter, she brazenly invaded her :). Yesterday, Chef Domingo looked into the chocolate department and handed me a jar: "Try balsamic caviar!" In appearance - absolute black, only the grains are larger. It tastes like funny balls of balsamic bursting on the tongue. And I was gone... the guys instantly explained to me how they do it, and, of course, the first thing I did this morning was SHE. Orange juice caviar with a dash of dye to give it a "believable" color.

In fact, it is a completely useless thing in everyday life, but ... in how many of us have experimenters disappeared?

I’ll write the recipe, or rather the technology, because:

A) to be silent
b) There are sure to be crazy people here who will do it :)))

Need:

1 cup rast. odorless oils
125 g juice
60 g water
10 g sugar
3 g agar

Syringe/Pipette

Put the butter in the freezer for 2-3 hours. It should become very cold, but not frozen. Mix juice with water and sugar, add agar-agar (if your agar needs to be soaked in advance, then leave it to stand for the right time). Bring to a boil, boil for 1-2 minutes. Let it cool down a bit. Type in a pipette or syringe (anything from which liquid can be released in drops) and release drop by drop into cold oil. The agar will solidify immediately.
Throw in a colander, rinse from the remnants of oil under cold water.
All:)
Is it really simple? :)

But in general, they don’t make it for the sake of taste :))) Balsamico is cool, for snacks it’s what you need. These orange ones are like hard jelly.

You can experiment with wine, with chocolate, carrot juice)

Comment:

- I saw somewhere for a long time that a segment of a dropper was adapted for spawning - practically spawned automatically)

- Made from carrot juice on gelatin. Liked. I decorated the salad. :) We must try the sweet caviar!

- Got some great advice today!
You can use vodka instead of oil. You can not be afraid to overexpose it in the freezer (after all, it does not freeze !!!)
The smell of alcohol disappears after washing very quickly. And no oil stains.
I received advice when I was interviewed in a new confectionery with us. This pastry chef turned out to be very nice :-)

"RED CAVIAR"

You can take simple gelatin and add fish oil for salted caviar, then the caviar smells like fish. And decorate the dish: fish in the center, and decorate with caviar around, it looks very beautiful and impressive!))

(from internet)

"But black caviar! Unknown..."

The dish is a joke, or a trick, or a prank, or maybe magic... The surprise of guests is guaranteed. By the way, fresh and tasty, especially with a soft bun and butter, but also good with fresh vegetables.

Ingredients:

• Soy sauce - 150 ml
• Agar-agar - 2 g
• Vegetable oil (refined, deodorized) - 250 ml

The ingredients are simple, but not exactly common.

It is important to use good quality soy sauce.

Agar-agar is a neutral jelly that is obtained from red and brown algae. And the most interesting thing is that in our country it is used mainly in confectionery - for the manufacture of marmalade, marshmallows, jelly, ice cream. Today, agar-agar is known as a vegetable substitute for gelatin, sweets and dietary products are made on its basis, it is recommended for cleansing the body and correcting weight. In sweets, agar is good because, unlike gelatin, it does not add calories and undesirable aftertaste. In addition, the gelling properties of agar are better than those of gelatin: it solidifies faster, it does not need to be thoroughly mixed.

We also need a pipette and a glass for oil.

We measure out 2 g of agar-agar. If there is a scale - great, if not, then it's a full teaspoon with a small slide.

For the success of our magic, a glass of sunflower oil must be strongly cooled. We put it in the freezer for an hour. The oil should become very cold, but not freeze or thicken. Olive oil is not suitable for this purpose.
An hour passed, the oil became very cold. Pour 150 ml of soy sauce.
Pour soy sauce into a saucepan and pour agar-agar.

We put on fire and stirring, bring to a boil, boil for 30 seconds.
We collect a full pipette of soy solution and send it drop by drop into cold oil. The droplets immediately turn into small balls and settle to the bottom of the glass.

This is the most tedious part of the magic - transfer 150 ml of the solution with a 2.5 mg pipette into a glass of oil.
Pour the oil into a bowl through a strainer. And here it is a miracle: a whole strainer of selected, large, shiny, very appetizing black caviar!
By the way, the oil can be used for other culinary needs, because we did not heat it.

We wash our caviar under a thin stream of cold water and put it in a beautiful bowl.
Well, whoever says that it doesn't look like black caviar, let him throw a stone at me!
