Instructions

  1. 1 Whisk coconut milk in a large, heavy saucepan until smooth. Sprinkle agar-agar flakes on top. Let sit, undisturbed, until flakes are rehydrated, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Heat the milk gently over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until agar-agar is fully dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Remove the saucepan from the stovetop. Let milk cool, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 115 degrees F (46 degrees C). Speed up the cooling process by placing the saucepan in an ice water bath; stir continually until it reaches the correct temperature.
  4. 4 Open the probiotic capsules and sprinkle the powder over the milk. Discard capsules. Stir in sugar until dissolved.
  5. 5 Transfer the yogurt mixture to sterilized glass jars and cover with lids, or leave in the saucepan and cover. Let sit in a warm place, about 110 degrees F (43 degrees C), until thickened to desired consistency, 12 to 24 hours.

  6. 6 Spoon chicken mixture into the center of each piece of dough. Draw up the sides to form a bag shape and twist to seal.
  7. 7 Place in a bamboo steamer. Steam in a skillet filled with about 1 inch of water over high heat until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Bring water and agar-agar powder to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and refrigerate until set, 20 to 30 minutes.
  2. 2 Cream vegan butter and coconut oil with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Sift in powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition to combine. Sift in flour and ground pistachios; stir to combine. Stir in vanilla and salt until incorporated, scraping the bowl as necessary. Stir in the prepared agar-agar; your dough will become wet but don't worry, it will harden in the refrigerator. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a work surface with parchment paper. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. 4 Remove dough from the refrigerator and divide in half. Cover one half with plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator. Cover the remaining half with plastic wrap and roll on the prepared surface until it's 1/4-inch thick, working it into your hands to warm it up if it's too thick.
  5. 5 Cut out cookies with cookie cutter shape of choice. Rinsing off the cookie cutters with hot water between cuts will help remove any stuck-on cookie dough. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until the edges turn golden brown, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool, about 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Whisk aquafaba with an electric mixer until foamy. Whisk in powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated and thick. Stir in rose water.
  8. 8 Dip cooled cookies into the icing and place back on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
