I grow oily green grass jelly, no need to dry the leaves and cooked them to get the jelly. Just wash the leaves, immersed in clean water and crushed the leaves by hand or rough pulse in blender. Pour the solution through a sieve, put the liquid in fridge. It'll harden and can be enjoyed in about 4 hours
Growing up my family would often visit a cafe that had hot grass jelly (燒仙草) on the menu, which was a really nice treat in winter. It was a oozy thick, sweet dessert soup with red beans, peanuts, tapioca pearls, and sweet potato and taro balls.
That looks EXACTLY like a colombian desert called gelatina negra de pata, cow foot black jello, but as the name says our version is made with cow foot and flavored with panela honey, which is what gives it its distinctive black color. I’d love for Emmy to try it and see how it differs from the grass black jello.
@@angelika_munkastrap4634 it just tastes like dark sugary caramel, since it isn’t regular honey but panela honey; panela is what comes out from the sugar cane before it becomes sugar, it’s a block of unrefined brown sugar, and it’s very popular in Colombia. The texture is like firm jello, it’s not greasy or fatty at all, if you didn’t know the name you would have never guessed it was made with cow foot.
Here in Thailand they call it Chao Kuay (funnily it is a common name for black cat pets). Usually eaten with a sweetened soymilk and maybe a few dessert beans on top for garnish
When I saw the title Emmy gave her video here, I had to google ''Black Sea Hare'' and according to the info I came across, it's a species of extremely large sea slug. 🤣🤣🤣 After watching her video I was relieved that she wasn't using any slugs in her recipes.
My mom loves to eat grass jelly with brown sugar syrup and a splash of evaporated milk, and that's my preferred way too! It's great in milk tea as well or as a topping for shaved ice... mmmm now i want some grass jelly XD
Not a huge fan of grass jelly by itself because of the flavor (bitter and grassy) but I LOVE it when it's mixed with iced latte/cappuccino, or just a simple cold milk with brown sugar 😩😩 we Indonesian usually cut it into little cubes or grate it with cheese grater so we can drink it with straw hahaha
I’m not even really into food videos but your voice is so soothing and I almost always learn something from watching. Thank you for your content Emmy. :)
Oooh when you cut the slices and they fell over it reminded me of one of those blender soft body object renders. Perfectly smooth objects. Sooo satisfying.
i used to think it was meh with just sugar water but i tried it with sugar+milk instead and it was a total game changer for me. i think the creaminess really complements the herbal flavor
Best video ever! I love how you really go down your rabbit hole of texture shine jiggle enjoyment!!! It was almost as if I was playing with it myself!!
When I was a kid back in the 50's there was a TV show called "Lunch With Soupy Sales". Jello was always on the lunch menu. When it was time for dessert, he'd do a close up of a shaky wiggle jello bowl while playing Hawaiian hula music. Those were the days!😎
Releasing the suction was the most satisfying thing I've seen in a while. I went back to watch it three times lol. Not so sure about the sound though hahaha
First thing came to mind is Sago at Gulaman. I think it tastes the same as the drink is brown sugar water with drops of vanilla and the grass jelly is the "gulaman" and sago is smaller boba pearls.
This is called as cao or cao hitam here. One of the most famous brand that you can get easily get at supermarkets is Mickey Brand. Back then, there was no powdered form, only fresh leaf processed form. There is also cao hijau, the green version, which is made from another plant species.
I looooove grass jelly! Emmy, have you had fresh grass jelly before? If there's a Meet Fresh chain near you, they have really good fresh grass jelly and grass jelly shaved ice desserts. The fresh kind is so soft that it can't hold a shape like storebought kinds or the kinds in drinks. The texture is different enough that the taste is different too! I find that the storebought kind or ones in drinks are very firm and kinda watery. The texture and flavor of fresh soft grass jelly makes for a totally different experience and is more flavorful and tasty in my opinion!
So interesting to see new foods, thanks Emmy. I dont think I will be trying this one tho as it is not readily available in the UK and It also looks as appetising as tripe but I much appreciate your presentation so much.
I know you’re a fellow Rhode Islander and it’s so funny that I mentioned that because usually my school is right near 中西 so recently I’ve been popping in there after school and buying literally Grass jelly so it’s funny that I stumbled across this video
At first I was skeptical because I was thinking about ink squid but this is completely different. I would like to try it! I bet it's really good for you too.

You can also grate it and mix it with cold sweetened milk or milk tea. A lot of bubble tea shops have them as alternative if you don't like bobas.
I've never seen Emmy play with her food as much as in this video. lol!
I totally agree 💯
Like someone on drugs 😂😂😂
Exactly what I was thinking!
Lol I love her videos, but this one I had to skip ahead a little.
@@Web19814 I agree. It was like she was stretching out time to make it over ten minutes and it got a bit old.

I hope she does, that sounds lovely 😊❤
How does it taste? Can you taste cow beyond the honey flavour? And is it sort of a fatty feel to the roof of your mouth from the cow foot?

Cow foot = gelatin
@@hakichan94 wow it sounds amazing - I’d try it

You eat black cats 😮
@@skyd.2084its just a nick name for cats. People dont eat cats, just call them this name.
yayyy a Thai person :D
Food pet names are adorable. We have a cat named Noodle.

There needs to be a disclaimer that no black sea hares were harmed in the making of this video.
But with Emmy you never know, I mean…BUGMAS🤣
It's Emmy, I wouldn't put it past her😂
😃@@richwhitaker1506
I feared this would be similar to Emmy's geoduck video. Watching Emmy parboil a sea creature and cut it up into sushi was quite a shock.
My mom loves to eat grass jelly with brown sugar syrup and a splash of evaporated milk, and that's my preferred way too! It's great in milk tea as well or as a topping for shaved ice... mmmm now i want some grass jelly XD
Emmy, your the first adult I've ever seen who likes to play with her food. 😅 I love it. You've made my day. Your awesome.
When you moved the jello around after you cut it, I could actually feel it on my hands! That was a great shot

This would make a top notch Halloween dessert
No kids would eat this bitter awfulness
I love grass jelly in brown sugar black tea (no milk), the herbal and bitter flavors of the tea and jelly with a little bit of sweetness.. so good.
This would be a good dessert after a black risotto dinner. Perfect for Halloween!
I saw a video about how this is made; it’s a long process with many steps. The “grass” looks like wheat grass. Pretty cool!
I dislike the flavour of wheat grass, but this mesona chinensis one is weirdly addictive to me.
Thank you for your continuing, unprejudiced food acuity, presented from behind an attractive face and a sunny disposition. So refreshing. Go, girl!
Love the BLOOP tee! The font reminds me of ESPIRT from back in the day! Great memories 😍
Grass Jelly Drink is one of those things that's soothing for me when I have a really bad migraine.
I’m not even really into food videos but your voice is so soothing and I almost always learn something from watching. Thank you for your content Emmy. :)
And I love the bloop shirt and the bloop sound the jelly made when you dropped the squares in the bowl lol ❤
The "BLOOP" t-shirt was perfect for this episode. (especially the satisfyingly squelchy de-panning moment.)
Perfect choice of T shirt!!
Love grass jelly with a cold Hong Kong style milk tea to replace boba pearls.
Me being Taiwanese knew it was grass jelly right when I saw the thumbnail!
You spoke so sweetly about the sea hare and while I cannot agree its beautiful, it deserves love too.
Emmy, with all the chaos happening in the world and all over the Internet, your videos are like water in the desert ❤
Looks so fun and cool! The first flavor that came to mind was Anise Seed or black licorice when I saw the thumbnail. Might have to try one one day.
Oooh when you cut the slices and they fell over it reminded me of one of those blender soft body object renders. Perfectly smooth objects. Sooo satisfying.
i used to think it was meh with just sugar water but i tried it with sugar+milk instead and it was a total game changer for me. i think the creaminess really complements the herbal flavor
YES i was hoping this was grass jelly! i LOVE grass jelly drink and its amazing in boba, i could only dream of finding a huge loaf of it like this!
They sell it in powdered form. You can make a giant bowl at home.
Best video ever! I love how you really go down your rabbit hole of texture shine jiggle enjoyment!!! It was almost as if I was playing with it myself!!
This video was so much fun! 🌻🦋
When you cut the four pieces it really did look like that little animal thing you showed in the beginning😲!
"Bloop" was a very fitting shirt for this video lol
I love grass jelly
as a kid i never liked this because its tasted very medicinal. now as an adult i can appreciate it. sweet and a little herby tasting. it's so good!
That grass jelly looks pretty good!
I love grass jelly, reminds me of coffee jelly. Another jellies i like is mango or pandan😊
Omg that was satisfying af lol ❤
I love an occasional grass jelly drink in the can. I didn’t like it as a kid but now it’s a nostalgic flavor I enjoy 😋
Grass jelly is also known as liang fen. It tastes best cold with sugar water. Have had grass jelly with red beans and coconut milk at restaurants.
When I was a kid back in the 50's there was a TV show called "Lunch With Soupy Sales". Jello was always on the lunch menu. When it was time for dessert, he'd do a close up of a shaky wiggle jello bowl while playing Hawaiian hula music. Those were the days!😎
OMG the way your mom made it is exactly how mine did as well. This video brings back so many memories.
Releasing the suction was the most satisfying thing I've seen in a while. I went back to watch it three times lol. Not so sure about the sound though hahaha
Ok slicing through it was pretty satisfying too
Loved that too. Also when it flopped down n moved around on its own after slicing. Yeah a few of the sounds were bordering on inappropriate 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣
I love grass jelly. With a little bit of coconut milk, or rock sugar water. Yum.
hi Emmy🎉 "Bloop,bloop,bloop. 👚"
Emmy you are a joy to watch! 💜
Wow! Such memories of childhood! We used the brown sugar syrup for this. That was the best part. So yummy! Thanks for sharing!
It’s so slippery! Sliding around the plate! 😮😮😮
First thing came to mind is Sago at Gulaman. I think it tastes the same as the drink is brown sugar water with drops of vanilla and the grass jelly is the "gulaman" and sago is smaller boba pearls.
Grass jelly, syrup + shave ice = refreshing drink. Add sago it becomes black gulaman sago
Now after watching this I need to look up sea hares
I love grass jelly. It was called "leung fun" growing up.
Grass jelly was one of my favourite treats growing up too! We would have it with canned lychees in syrup and ice.
I so appreciate how much joy Emmy finds in the little things.
Pandan leaf infused syrup is good! And if you add soy milk you get a drink that we call "Michael Jackson". 😅
Excellent video, one of my favorite dishes!
I like how her shirt says bloop in this video lol.
love grass jelly. when I was a kid i would eat it with sugar sprinkled on it. now I love adding it to ice milk tea.
I suddenly have an idea where the idea for slimes came from in video game.
I don't know when we got it, but we have a can of this stuff in our pantry. I've never tried it, but I think it's time we tried it
That looks very cool, but we also eat with our eyes. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was made with coffee. Sea Hares!
The food you enjoyed as a child is the most enjoyable food as an adult. ❤
It has a very impressive look! I've learned something new, thank you!
Can't wait to try it....maybe the black jelly drink.....😊
Listening to Emmy speak is like asmr🤌
Hi Emmy. Could you make more gadget testing videos especially with antique/older gadgets? All of your videos are great but those are the best!

Thank you for this… I love being introduced to new (to me) things!!! If I ever saw this, I’d try it because of you!!
The noise this dessert made when she poked a hole in the container was so upsetting to me in comparison to how yummy the dessert looked haha
I love to eat black sea hare jelly my favorite way is with a brown sugar syrup and coconut milk and ice . I like in bobba milk tea too
9:07 delightful sound effects 😄
It looks so tasty tbh, I bet that'd be so satisfying to eat super cold on a very hot day!
This looks like something I would enjoy.
Wow, Emmy, you were super engaged with this jello/jelly!
Looks yummy. 😊
Its always a happy day when Emmy post :D ty!!
If you are creative, this could be a great addition to a Halloween dinner or potluck.
In malaysia, we call it "cincau". We usually put it in the rose flavoured milk drink. Try it!
Emmy is loved!!!!!! I love grass jelly ❤❤
Bloop, bloop, bloop.👚
So interesting to see new foods, thanks Emmy. I dont think I will be trying this one tho as it is not readily available in the UK and It also looks as appetising as tripe but I much appreciate your presentation so much.
14 minutes to put jello in a bowl. Exciting
It looks like licorice Jell-O he he he! 😮
Herseys sugar free chocolate syrup might be good with mint flavor
I know you’re a fellow Rhode Islander and it’s so funny that I mentioned that because usually my school is right near 中西 so recently I’ve been popping in there after school and buying literally Grass jelly so it’s funny that I stumbled across this video
“Bloop, bloop, bloop 👚.” :P
Every time you moved it my OCD kicked in (please don't fall please don't fall) lol
Delightful! I love grass jelly. Yum. Also I love your cute shirt
"It must be jelly cause jam don't shake like that."
in Indonesia we called it Cincau, we have the black one and the green one. It is so refreshing!
'And more importantly, what does it taste like?' haha, i like that the taste is more important
You should make a Short of the cutting and sliding part. Very hashtag satisfying.
Grass jelly with papaya, condensed milk and mocca syrup
In Vietnamese, we call grass jelly "thach dan". My family likes to eat it simply with milk, sugar, creamer and ice.
woah I've never seen one in such a huge container before, the ones I usually get are usually soda can sized 😲
At first I was skeptical because I was thinking about ink squid but this is completely different. I would like to try it! I bet it's really good for you too.
My minds going nuts
Make a squid shaped cake and figure out how to have the gelly in the middle ready to splooge!
Black sugar from Okinawa. So good!
I had something similar to this, but it was coffee. Our Spanish 4 teacher from Chilé brought it with some other foods one day.
