Citrus Caviar Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Agar-Agar Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine the water, agar-agar powder, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until the agar-agar is completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    Mix Citrus Juices

    In a separate bowl, mix the lime juice and orange juice together. Add the grated ginger and a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Combine and Chill

    Once the agar-agar mixture is boiling and dissolved, remove it from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Gradually pour the citrus mixture into the agar-agar mixture while stirring continuously.

  4. 4

    Create Caviar Pearls

    Using a dropper or a small spoon, drop the mixture into a bowl of ice-cold oil (such as vegetable oil). The mixture will form small spheres. Let them sit for a few minutes to set.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once the caviar pearls are formed, carefully remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and rinse them gently in cold water. Serve immediately as a garnish or on their own.
