Dalgona

Method

1. 1 Heat the sugar in a metal ladle over low heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes until it dissolves into a pale yellow syrup.
2. 2 Remove the ladle from the heat, add the baking soda, and stir quickly for 10 seconds—the mixture will puff up and turn yellowish-brown.
3. 3 Pour it immediately onto a surface that has been lightly greased with oil.
4. 4 Flatten the candy with the bottom of the cup for 5 seconds, then press the mold onto the candy surface.
5. 5 Let it cool for 3 minutes until the candy hardens and becomes crispy, then remove it from the wrapper.

With an appliance

• Microwave 12 min

  Replace step 1: put sugar in a heat-resistant ceramic cup, microwave at 600W in 30-second intervals for a total of about 2 minutes, stirring after each interval until it becomes a pale yellow syrup. Remove the cup with gloves and immediately proceed to step 2 because hot sugar burns easily.
