Instructions
- 1
To a large pot, add the 8 cups (2 L) of cold water and sprinkle in the agar agar powder. Whisk to combine. Let the agar dissolve in the water for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- 2
Add the sugar and whisk again to combine.
- 3
Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3 minutes, until all of the agar and sugar have dissolved, then remove from the heat. Do not keep over the heat for too long or the agar will denature!
- 4
Pour the agar mixture into a large glass or ceramic bowl with a smooth bottom.
- 5
Refrigerate overnight, or until set.
- 6
Make the brown sugar syrup: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar and water. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring the syrup to a boil and remove the syrup from the heat, transfer to a liquid measuring cup, and refrigerate until cool and thickened, about 1 hour.
- 7
Invert the raindrop cake onto a large plate or cutting board.
- 8
Top with the roasted soybean flour and brown sugar syrup.
- 9
Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
