Use agar agar (kanten). Agar agar is a traditional substitute for gelatin in many recipes and basically it substitutes at a ratio of an equal amount of agar agar for gelatin when substituting like for like (that is powdered for powdered, etc). One tablespoon of powdered agar agar can be used in place of one tablespoon of powdered gelatin.
Gelatin (sometimes gelatine) is a common gelling agent and thickener that most people are familiar with. It is flavorless, colorless and brittle when dry. In it's pure form, gelatin comes either as gelatin sheets, or as powder. Generally, it is made from animal bones and collagen, the most common source being pig skin.heet gelatin can be softened in water before it is added to a liquid. The easiest and most hygienic way is to put the sheet in 5 times it's weight of cold water, then leave for a few minutes to soften; this is called blooming. Then add the gelatin to the liquid, which must be at least 37 degrees to melt it.
