Add the bean casings to the saucepan. Whisk in the agar-agar milk. Heat on medium heat until tiny bubbles form around the edges, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmering until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove and discard the vanilla bean casings.
  • Purée the strawberries. Pour half the purée into the coconut milk. Mix well. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Grease four 6-ounce ramekins. Evenly distribute the coconut milk mixture into the ramekins. Tap to remove any air bubbles. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 5 hours. .
  • Meanwhile, cook the sauce by simmering the remaining puréed strawberries, diced rhubarb, orange juice, lemon juice, and agave syrup until the rhubarb is soft. Mash with a fork to create a chunky sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • When the coconut ‘panna cotta' are firm, flip onto a plate (loosen with a knife around the edges if necessary). Top with cooled rhubarb sauce and lemon zest.
