Tanghulu is one of the tastiest treats out there. Most people know it as a street food snack, often with hawthorn or strawberries on sticks with the hardened sugar coating. You can get the fruit from miamifruit.org/ and tropicalfruitbox.com/. Each have different and unique fruits and I've tried just about everything they offer. The recipe is simple, and as follows:

Ingredients
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
wooden skewers

1. Combine sugar and water over medium-high heat and don't stir.
2. Allow to heat to 300 F or about 150 C, then turn off heat and dip your fruits or other food into the liquid.
3. Immediately plunge into a cold water bath to harden the sugar and enjoy!
4. To clean your pan, add water and boil over high heat. Repeat once or twice and your sugar will dissolve from the edges of your pan! DO NOT try to scrape it off.

    I grew up eating tanghulu in china, and traditionally there’s even amounts of fruit and the sugar syrup is normally rock sugar that you can get in Asian markets

    OMG THAT is what that was! My parents used to take us to this Chinese restaurant in LA (my favorite) and for dessert they would bring out orange wedges and sweet potato tanghulud. It was such a treat that I can only get very rarely, but now I can make them at home. OMG you don't know how excited I am about this. THANK YOU for this, I am getting emotional and I know that's silly over sweet potato tangulud but it is so very sentimental to me.

    I can't be the only one that was a little taken aback when he was talking about the fruit reminding him of his grandpa and then said beautiful and delicious.

    Idk why. But the way he peeled the skin off of the dragon fruit was so flawless. Like that was smooth fr. 😭

    If there is ever another Jumanji film, you'd be essential for quality of life, Nick. Been binging your old stuff lately and have found so many awesome channels thanks to you. I've hated some of the things you've done in the past, but the brilliance and art and passion you've brought forth to the general public is seriously once in a lifetime and easily outweigh the issues that have troubled me. The east coast thanks you.

    Fun fact: it’s not tanghulu if it’s an odd number of fruits it should be done with two or an even amount of fruits it’s tradition
