Yes I'm the tanghulufag from last time. I made tanghulu successfully on my first attempt, it was crunchy and shit. But my second attempt made it so sticky it was hard to chew as FUCK.

Last time the color was quite yellow like piss, but now i wanted it to chill a little and be not-so-yellow so i could get to dip everything in the mixture on time before it overcooks. However, I think my problem with overcooking was when I waited for too long, rather than letting the mixture be yellow. Should I wait till its yellow next time?

Also, I DO NOT have a candy thermometer to measure. I dipped (heh) only a spoonful of my mixture into cold water and it seemed fine and it did stick, but it wasn't hard enough. Is there a specific time to wait? here is the recipe i used:

Aha, i found somn on google:
"Allow your candying mixture to cook until it bubbles, thickens, and turns a rich golden color, sort of like caramel"
Yes, thank lord because you fags wouldn't ever respond.

you are a fag for not buying a candy thermometer or having any sort of thermometer. you can kind of tell from color and what the bubbles look like to see what candy stage you are at. but as always op is a fucking moron who wasn't dropped on their head enough to kill them (disappointing). i hope your next of kin is born without an asshole

OP i saw 6 different brands of candy thermometers at walmart. All <$15. Go get one


And for anecdote, i commonly break and lose my candy thermometers so keep that in mind. It's a very useful tool for measuring the temp of frying oil or hot water for bread baking.
