I am looking for a recipe for a chinese/oriental dessert item. The name sounds like, sun teen gah?

Question

Please include the proper spelling if you have any idea what I am talking about. All I can remember is that it was a almond paste stuffed shell that had the consistency of a gummy bear

Answer 1

Almond Jelly Recipe

2 cups Cold water
1/3 cup Caster sugar
2 teaspoons Agar-agar
2/3 cup Evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon Almond essence
3 Mandarins, peeled and segmented

Method :

Place the water and sugar in a small pan.

Sprinkle over the agar-agar powder.

Bring the mixture to the boil and simmer for 1 minute.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the evaporated milk and almond essence.

Pour the mixture into a shallow 18 X 28 cm pan to set.

Chill for at least 1 hour.

Cut the jelly into diamond shapes, and serve with the fruit.
Note : Agar-agar is similar to gelatin but does not need refrigeration to help it set. If it is not available, use 3 teaspoons of gelatin sprinkled over 1/2 cup of cold water to soften. Stir the gelatin mixture into the water and sugar mixture, bring to the boil, then remove it from the heat. There is no need to simmer. Proceed with the method as above but refrigerate the jelly for 5 hours instead.
