This is a simple "jello" recipe that uses agar instead of gelatin. You can find agar in oriental food stores. Sometimes it's in sheets rather than powder, but they both work equally well. Typically, I top this with canned lychees and chopped fresh mango, but you can use canned fruit cocktail or any choice of tropical fruits like bananas, kiwi or pineapple.
