- 1 cup sugar (using a 200ml measuring cup)
- 1/2 cup water (using a 200ml measuring cup)
- 2 wooden chopsticks (for holding fruit)
- 3 skewers
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Welcome! Today, I’m sharing a special recipe for making Tanghulu with seasonal tangerines right at home, ensuring success every time. This is a delightful fruit candy that’s perfect as a snack for kids or a special dessert. Shall we make these delicious fruit candies together?
Step 2
First, carefully gather all the ingredients needed for making Tanghulu. You’ll need 5 fresh tangerines, 1 cup of white sugar for the sweet syrup, 1/2 cup of water, and 2 wooden chopsticks to hold the fruit while you coat it, along with 3 skewers. For best results, use a 200ml measuring cup for all your measurements.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to prepare the tangerines for their candy coating. Peel the tangerines. For some tangerines, firmly skewer them whole onto the wooden chopsticks. For the remaining tangerines, skewer them individually onto the provided skewers, similar to how you’d make tteokbokki skewers. This method ensures the fruit stays stable while you apply the syrup, resulting in a cleaner finish.
Step 4
Next, we’ll make the sugar syrup, which is the heart of Tanghulu. Pour 1 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of water into a clean saucepan. Place it over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once the sugar is dissolved, stop stirring and let it boil undisturbed.
Step 5
Once the syrup begins to boil vigorously, maintain medium heat and continue to let it bubble. When large bubbles start forming on the surface, prepare a small bowl of cold water. Drop a spoonful of the syrup into the cold water. If it hardens immediately within the water, your syrup is ready! At this point, reduce the heat to low and be careful not to let the syrup burn.
Step 6
Carefully coat the prepared tangerine skewers with the warm syrup. The easiest way to get a smooth and even coating is to use a spoon to drizzle the syrup over the tangerines, letting it drip down. Coat both the whole tangerines and the individual ones thoroughly. Remember, the syrup is very hot, so work cautiously. The syrup will begin to harden almost instantly upon contact with the fruit.
Step 7
Voila! Your delicious, crispy tangerine Tanghulu is now complete. Without any complicated steps, you can easily enjoy this professional-quality fruit candy dessert at home. With this simple guide, you can master the art of making perfect tangerine Tanghulu without any worries!
