Tanghulu (Candied Strawberries) Recipe

Tanghulu (otherwise known as candied strawberries) is a popular street food in Asia. It is very easy to make and requires only 3 ingredients - sugar, water and fruit!

Tanghulu originated in China, but you can find these tasty treats in almost any major city in Asia. I often see several tanghulu carts pop up on Hongdae street (a lively hangout spot in Seoul) when the weather is good.

That's why it's important to understand how sugar works and to have a food thermometer. In that way, you can reach the desired temperature (between 148 C to 150C, hard crack stage) in a quarter of the time by first adding A LOT LESS water (usually a third of the weight of sugar used would suffice) and increasing the heat to the maximum. 22 minutes to reach the hard ball stage is just waaaay

Tip: Don't wait till the colour is slightly caramel-ish(?) You have to work fast, and if you dip your strawberries in a caramel colour, it will be think, so instead, dip it when it's a light Amber.

Could you add flavoring and colouring to these? Real love the fact that there is no corn syrup involved :)

[sisforshayla]

When you're dipping them, the sugar doesn't look like it's bubbling. Did you turn it back to low at that point or something?

[whos..vvv]

I love making this
You can also turn it into Carmel by adding heavy cream or heady wipping cream, vanilla, and butter :)
