Ingredients needed 🛒4 servings
- Sugar 3 cups
- Corn syrup 1 and 1/2 cups
- Water 1 and 1/2 cups
- Vinegar 2 drops
- Cornstarch, as needed
- Chopped nuts, as needed
- Bean powder, as needed
Recipe 🍳
- In a pot, combine 3 cups sugar, 1 1/2 cups water, 1 1/2 cups corn syrup, and 2 drops vinegar.
- To prevent sugar crystallization, do not stir at all. Boil over medium heat for about 15 minutes until the syrup reaches 130°C.
- Once it reaches 130°C, immediately turn off the heat and pour only half of the syrup mixture onto parchment paper to cool.
- When the dough is soft enough not to stick to your hands but not fully hardened, peel off the parchment paper.
- Poke a hole in the center of the gathered dough to shape it into a donut.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of cornstarch on a wide dish, then coat the entire donut-shaped dough evenly with the starch.
- Gently stretch the dough by hand, twisting it into a figure-eight shape and stretching again repeatedly until you create thousands of thin strands.
- Cut the sufficiently thin sugar threads into appropriate sizes, then fill with a mixture of chopped nuts and bean powder, and roll them up to finish.
- In a pot, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and vinegar. Without stirring, boil over medium heat until it reaches 130°C, about 15 minutes.
- Pour the syrup onto parchment paper, let it cool slightly, then poke a hole to shape it into a donut and coat with cornstarch.
- Twist and stretch the dough into thousands of thin strands, then fill with a mixture of nuts and bean powder and roll up.
Cooking tips 💡
- When boiling the syrup, do not stir with a spoon or anything, as it will cause sugar crystals to form and prevent the threads from stretching.
- If the syrup temperature is too low or too high above 130°C, the dough may break before becoming thin or become sticky, so temperature control is key.
- When stretching the threads, make sure to coat them generously with cornstarch to prevent them from sticking together, which preserves the texture.
