Protip, pull forward back instead of side to side - thr korean street market guys seem to do that

have you thought of having a hook to put the candy around and then you have 2 hands free to pull? just a thought

I try to show everyone the real process good or bad. Thanks!

Showing ever Professional Could do A Mistake too Noice 👌

Try not to be called "professional" in inefficient working process. It's a waste of time. Instead, try to change the process, so product gets better.

Florian Tolk You like that you should check out my buddy Kai, search ITKman. He’s an Asian fusion chef who doesn’t speak super good english but does cooking videos, completely unedited. They’ll feed your hungry and your love for raw, uncut, mistake making chef.

Exactly. Now people know using a harder plastic bowl comes with a disadvantage. Others would have hidden that fact.

I try to show that everything doesn't always go as planned.

No doubt truly entertaining.

Ikr

People always cut it out to make it look easy

I try to show the challenges as well as the successes.

Good job chef... 👍

not really

Actually not the first Putra

I said the same thing, I love !

Thank you. I try to let people know these things so they can not make the same mistakes I make.

I tried this and my sugar mixture got burnt

Thanks so much for watching

I try to show the real challenges so people know what they are getting into.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am happy to have you as a subscriber.

Yes, I definitely need more practice to do it the way those guys do it

It's nice to see a video that shows people how they might do it in their own homes. No one is going to be churning out perfect dragon's beard candy like a Korean master who does it 200 times a day lol

Iian also the South Korean guy used hard aged honey in what looked to be flour or powdered sugar, corn starch

@@Siege_Viper did you guys watch the foodboy too? The korean street food it sounds like it. edit : i mean Foodieboy srry

@@Funfoods It seemed like part of the issue was in how you were pulling. You were pulling your arms apart, where the Korean buy was holding one side near his shoulder and pushing the other end away. That way the muscles you're using are the same you use for a bench press rather than a reverse fly. Pushing would be much easier and nowhere near as tiring.

I just got done watching that one and was sent here

Same thing as chico

It was a form of aged honey that had firmed up

"One flavor, this isn't Subway."

You mean dragons beard candy?

I'm so glad you enjoyed watching this. Thank you.

Thanks

Thanks, I try to include the real struggles of making this

Thanks. Yes those vendors do make it look easy.

BadW01f 2 Ive made a lot of research on this candy and I was able to find more than 10 variations when it comes to ingredients, the most popular and easy to do(the one the asian venders usually use) was made with fermender honey as that it is more flexible, but I was also able to find some tips to make it easier like using a bit of oil at the start to make it smother to stretch

I think if he had started pulling the mixture when it was about 5 - 10 degrees warmer, that it would have been much easier.

I saw a thing on Pinterest that if you let it sit in donut molds it’s easy to start. But great tutorial:) can’t wait to try

Awesome. I'm glad you checked out my channel. I hope you enjoy more of my videos. Xingcat is so cool.

Thank Steve. I can't wait to see your version someday.

Someday, maybe never James.. The list grows ever long and out of reach LOL

Good tip

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Let me know how it turns out.

😊 thank you

Lol, my arms are still a little soar.

Hey you!

Thanks David. It is a great way to make cotton candy if you don't have a machine.

I try to show people that it’s ok to make mistakes. Well all do.

@@Funfoods There are no mistakes, only happy accidents :)

Thank you

Yes, it is very similar to making noodles

I'm going to try this really soon! you made it look really fun and it looks really good :3

Thanks for watching my video. I just looked at that video and you are correct. It would probably be easier using a smaller amount. Next time I make it I will use a smaller amount.

Tobias Uchiha yes I seen that to cool I wanna try it

Thanks. I hope you give this a try

It is a lot of work but it really is fun to do.

Lol

*wine Don't take this as an offense plz!

That is why you have kids. Make them do the hard part. Lol

I don't think I am either...but I'm desperate for candy so I'm gonna try!

Good point. Next time I will have to not let it cool as much. Thanks.

D Sade -- not true..false on both..It has nothing to do w the cooling and also about the side of the first strand either..in fact..the strans are actualy Waaay bigher than they are supposed to be..if anything I think that, along w the heat.. Is what caused them to break

No, the way they break shows that it's too cool. If it was heat they would sort of melt/sag. The way they snap/break shows that the sugar mixture is too cooled

@@Funfoods a man that can acknowledge his errors and learn is wise

Thank you!

Gotta love the internet. Lol. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for watching.

2^15 is 32000 aka double as many strands as it has to be..... dumbass...

Yeah its kinda bothering that hes not doing a perfect Dragons Beard but i mean this is not supposed to be dragons beard its just hand pulled cotton candy by a normal person. xD Those Japanese People are masters of their art i bet its super hard for any untrained dude

Did you see how bad he struggled to get that far? XD Poor thing would have collapsed or cried after 5 more turns 😂😂

I just love how everyone is yelling at this dude but you can clearly see he said no offense

Lol, i know right.

That’s hilarious because it’s true. Haha

FunFoods thanks for having sense of humor about it and Great that you had the patience you did

Yes, it looks a lot like that

Bruhh

Woah what a roast 🔥🔥 :0 u totally dissed him 🙄🙄🙄

Thanks. I try to let people know that sometimes things don't go as planned.

T C --- where do u get your flavoring from ?

Actually, not all cotton candy is flavored but just colored. Example, if you are making regular candy apples (same sugar content but no vinegar), you just add food coloring at end. It's just a cooked sugar flavor.

@@stephaniedaigle5930 The best flavoring is probably Louran Oil extracts. You can often buy them at stores like Wal-Mart, but you can get them at the Louran website or Amazon. I've only tried cinnamon & cherry. Cinnamon was great. Cherry was terrible with a very cloying fake taste.

Almond would be delicious

I did this, I added blueberry flavoring and made it blue instead of pink, but somehow it turned purple..

Yes, it was a lot of pulling and stretching. I had to fast forward through so much footage.

Cheeky Tam lots of work?.... God modern women are so lazy

Dirtie Mits ....Apparently it hadn't dawned on you, that because a woman doesn't have half the strength a man does, that YES, it WOULD be much harder. Doesn't have a damn thing to do with laziness. It tired HIM out...

Sharaina go make a sandwich and laundry, then sit down and be quiet... Know your place as a woman

Dirtie Mits ...lol bend over Mits, I think ya need spanked

Hi Byron. I enjoyed the challenge of making it but it was hard on the arms.

That's a possibility. Many people mentioned that the candy needs to be softer.

In greece too😂😂

In Israel too.

It's a fun way to make it.

FunFoods it looks fun! 😋

Yes, it sure does

Hi Sandra. Thanks for watching. It was a workout on my arms for sure but the payoff was great.

Thanks

Yup

Yes, I could've folded it another time but my arms got really tired. Lol.

Pia Dooley way to thick..not as good

Yes, my arms should be huge after that. Sadly they are not

Lol

You should give it a try

Lol

That might be a good explanation of why the strands broke.

It actually originated from China, but Japan and Korea have their own variations

Renee Louise Sanchez I think it has to do more with the cooking time and temp. Candy making is extremely hard to do because precision is kea. When it comes to molten sugar, the slightest temp change can mean a soft candy or a hard brittle one. The hotter it gets the harder the candy. And its also important not to stir the sugar at all when making dragons beard because that will cause crystallization and make it hard as well.

FunFoods --- it's the "Heat" ....you had the proper ingredients... You just let it boil a tad too long...but not by much since u were able to make a couple twists out of it... The trick is to remove it from the stove ***BEFORE*** it reaches 170° ...so like 167°-168° ...cuz even once u remove it it's still going to keep heating for a cpl minutes still... It's super important to not go "Over" 170° ... I have seen a loooot of these videos..and that has been the common denominator for each failed attempt...but usualy by the 3rd attempt.. They got it right! It has absolutely nothing to do w cooling because u can make those ahead of time and only pull them a day or two later...Also.. Adding more Cornstarch..a lot more when u twist...and your first circle was waaaay waaaay too big.... It should of needes to be half the size... ( it gets bigger as u keep twisting though ..but it's much easier to pull when the candy is the right temperature as well..a lot more soft)...For your first attempt though... U were super close! And lastly..you should twist it 15 times in total...that makes 16,000 individual strands ;) That"s the real dragon's beards count.. I have sent u another comment earlier but resending u this link tk a korean vendor so u can observe his technique ( again..keep in mind that once u get the candy at the right temperature..it"s a loot more malleable, ..it won"t be half as hard work as here..) ..I feel like I'm missing something... Temperature..15twists..more cornstarch...maybe not?..lol..( Oh I remember!! The size of your first ring! That's what it is! So I didnt miss anything lol) .Here's the Link!! It's the finest and cleanest dragon's beard I have ever seen!! Look at how much cornstarch he adds before twisting and notice how small his very first ring is too! ;) ..PLEASE Try it again and make another video!! ;) Would Looove to see it !! ;)

@@aekibunnie9746 *ARMYYYYYY annyeongggg* 👋😃👋😃👋😃

It’s a lot of work

It was great meeting you as well. You all are welcome to come over anytime.

They are very good at doing it.

Chinese*

@@DATH-kc6ei *and Japanese. And Korean.

@@tgrady2570 true my bad

This is good enough for an untrained beginner. In ancient China this used to be the food of the emperor because there couldn't be a second candy master of the skill level to be found anywhere else. Nowadays we have corn syrup, cane sugar, and candy thermometer to help us we should expect some video to show people how to DIY a lesser version of it. And that's a good thing. While master-skilled artist makes legends, it's the dumbed-down version made in every family kitchen that ensures the dish to live on forever.

They use honey

But it's worth it

Thank you! 😊

It is. Hand Pulled cotton candy is called Dragon's Beard in different places but they are the same thing.

Yes indeed.

Thanks

Thanks. Yes, I could've folded it another time or two.

Yes you can. Thanks for watching.

FunFoods Thanks! :)

Thank you

Strongjohnf FTW cause he left it too much boiling so it was harder

Strongjohnf FTW he likes everyone’s but yours

Lol cause mine is true.

Strongjohnf FTW --- it"s cuz his candy wasn"t heated properly so the candy was way too hard ( hence why it broke) whereas usualy it's a lot more malleable...! Making his job 3times as hard! Nothing to do w laziness..it was just climbing an uphill battle...! Would love to see YOU try it ( w the hardened candy) see how "easy" u think it is! And besides... He wasn"t that far off...it usualy requires 15 twists to make.perfectly fine strands.. So he was only a few twists off ... Chill out

Yes.

Thank you so much

Thank you so much 🤗
