    So what’s the difference between gulaman and gelatin?

    Gulaman (known as agar or agar-agar in English) is a carbohydrate that comes from red algae (seaweed). Gelatin is a protein substance from collagen found in animal skin and bones.

    Tips and Variations:

    • Feel free to use plain jello if you can’t find gulaman
    • Gulaman bars are either colored or plain (transparent white). To change up the taste of the drink, use a different flavor gulaman.
    • Sago Gulaman is best served in individual servings.

    How to Make Sago Gulaman:

    Listed below are all the ingredients you will need:

    Gulaman 

    • 3  cups water
    • ¼  cup brown sugar
    • 1 pack 25g red gulaman, unflavored

    Sago

    • 4-5 cups water
    • ⅓ cup sago pearls
    • 1 tsp vanilla (optional)

    Juice

    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 3 ⅓ cups water

    How to Make Gulaman:

    In a pan over low heat, add 3 cups of water and 14 cups of brown sugar, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.

    Add unflavored gulaman and stir for  3-5 mins or until frothy.

    Turn off the heat and pour into a glass container, and cool for 20 minutes. Gulaman should be solidified like jello.  Then slice into small cubes (see pictures).

    How to Make Sago:

    In a pot over medium heat, add 4 cups of water (add 1 more cup if needed), and bring to a boil.  Add ⅓ cup sago pearls and cook until sago pearls are tender and translucent. 

    Using a strainer, separate the sago and hot water.  Then pour cold water on the sago to avoid sticking.  Set aside.

    Juice:

    In a pan over low heat, add 1 cup brown sugar and caramelized sugar, make sure to keep an eye and stir, so the sugar does not stick to the pan.

    Once it is caramelized, carefully pour in 3 ⅓ cups of water and stir until it is well combined. Make sure that the caramelized sugar does not burn because it will give a bitter flavor. Allow it to cool for  20 minutes.

    How to Assemble the Sago Gulaman:

    In large glasses, add ice, gulaman, cooked sago, and juice mixture. 

    Best served cold and individual servings.
