  Cook and strain the jelly cake

  Place a pan on the stove over medium heat, wait for the pan to heat up, then add the green dough to sauté. Wait for it to boil, then reduce the heat and stir continuously. When the dough thickens, turn off the heat and continue stirring until the dough is evenly colored.

  Pour 1 liter of clean water into a bowl, add 3 – 4 ice cubes, then scoop the dough into a round-holed strainer, using a ladle to press the dough down into the bowl of water, and let it soak for 2 – 3 minutes before removing it to drain.

  Do the same with the white dough.

  Tip: Add ice to the bowl of water so that when the jelly falls, they do not stick together.
