Based on the manufacturer's directions you described I would try using 2 oz. of the agar powder and use 1 cup of water and 1 1/2 cup of the mango puree. The texture of the pudding will be slightly different when made with gelatin versus agar agar. I'm afraid my best advice is to experiment. Good luck!-- Kian Hi Jing,

Thanks for the recipe. I'm planning to make this later with agar-agar. When you mentioned 0.5oz per quart of liquid, were you referring to the agar sticks? I only have agar powder in hand, should I follow the agar:liquid ratio on the back of the box then? It says 6 cups of water per agar box(6oz). I used it with 6 cups of pandan water before, and it was really really hard, unlike gelatin which was more jelly-like. I tried using 1oz of the same agar powder for almost 6 cups of pandan water yesterday, and it never set. Hi Kian! Thanks for the recipe. I’m planning to make this later with agar-agar.

You will have to bring the water to a boil to completely dissolve the agar agar. Let cool to almost room temperature before mixing in the mango puree. Otherwise just follow the other instructions. I hope you enjoy the pudding. Hi Kezia, The cooking procedure with agar agar is similar. You will have to bring the water to a boil to completely dissolve the agar agar.

You may want to experiment the amount to suit your own preference for texture. Hi May, For this recipe you can use about .3 oz. of agar agar to thicken.

I think classic mango pudding is still one of the most satisfying refreshing dishes among the dimsum offerings. I’m glad you enjoyed the mango pudding recipe.

I made the mango pudding over the weekend and it was marvellous. I strained the mango mixture before putting them into the ramekin. Thank you. Hi

Fortunaely I tried only half recipe from About.com, Chinese Food. It didn't set at all, only the top layer, and overnight, it's still the same. Then it says there to eat it best on the same day. Wonder why. I'll give you feedback after I've tried, but right now have to stomach this first, not to waste. I will certainly try this recipe.

I've also travelled extensively throughout Mexico, and the mangoes there are even better. I live in L.A. and the Mexican mangoes I get are great.
