Guihua gao
Sets in the fridge for at least three hours; unmould just before serving.
This is the base recipe: one batch, 8 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.
- Agar agar0.5 oz
- Osmanthus syrup0.25 cups
- Rock sugar2.3 oz
Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- Nothing cooks, so batch size does not change a cooking time. Chilling does not scale either — it is set by the depth of the container, so a double batch in one deep tub takes far longer than two shallow ones.
- Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for guihua gao, not a certified kitchen test.
- Amounts below are one batch: 8 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
- This dish can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Cold storage is the real limit — do not make it ahead if the fridge is already tight.
- No heat. Assemble from cold ingredients. Keep covered until service.
- Holds about 180 minutes once finished. After that, quality drops — do not invent extra time.
- Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Fridge units: 2 per batch, so 1 batch takes about 2 shelf-thirds while it waits.
Base recipe: one batch, 8 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 8 minutes at the stove either way.
Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
