Molecular cuisine is created to surprise and shock gourmets with amazing culinary delights. Spaghetti uses unusual ingredients such as orange juice. You can not only enjoy such a dish in a molecular cuisine restaurant, but also prepare it yourself at home.
To prepare unusual spaghetti, you need to purchase a syringe and tubes with which you can give the dish the desired shape. These devices are used to work with gelling agents. The length of the tube is about 1 meter. You will also need agar agar, which can be found in a major supermarket or molecular food store. The rest of the orange spaghetti products are sold in almost any store.
So,
- orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed) - 500 ml;
- sugar to taste;
- agar-agar - 2 tsp;
- cold water;
- syringe and silicone tube;
- a saucepan with a thick bottom.
Strain the orange juice and dilute with boiled but cold water. For 500 ml of juice, 150 ml of water is enough. Then add sugar to taste. The dish should be moderately sweet.
After dilution, pour the juice into a saucepan and put it on low heat. When the temperature of the liquid reaches 60 degrees, carefully add the agar-agar and stir until the gelling agents dissolve completely. Then turn off the heat and wait for the juice to thicken a little. It is important not to miss this moment, otherwise it will be more difficult to work with the mass later.
At the last stage, we give the dish a spaghetti shape. We collect the liquid into a syringe, fix the tube and squeeze the mass into it. Then carefully remove the straw and put it in cold water for about 2-3 minutes. We repeat the procedure with the remaining orange liquid.
To squeeze the finished spaghetti out of the tube, reconnect it to the syringe, draw air into it and slowly put the spaghetti on a plate. This unusual dish is served on the table as a dessert, complemented by ice cream.
