(Energetic music)

Hello everybody!

Today, I'm making Korean old-fashioned street snack sugar candy.

It's named ppopgi.

So ppogi, or ttalgona, or gookcha, but I prefer ppopgi name.

When I was young in elementary school,

these ppopgi vendors are waiting for us to come out after school.

Even though my mom always wanted me to come home directly from school

but just like always I couldn't resist stopping in,

especially when I have some coins in my pocket.

But now today in front of YouTube building, I'm setting up my ppopgi station here.

So let's see how much money I can make! :)

Per candy, one dollar I'm going to charge.

And also today, I have my helper.

He is a famous music critic.

And also he is a rock nerd.

I'm going to introduce you, Anthony~

My friend, Anthony~ (clapping)

Anthony, what's your YouTube channel name?

The needle drop... Needle drop

I'm going to preemptively just take a dollar out.

-Oh!

'Cause I am gonna buy, I'm going to pre-order the candy.

-You are going to-

-Don't need to wait for it come out.

-You are going to get paid by the way.

-It's okay, I'll make this dollar back!

-Ooh, so good, yeah!

I know Maangchi's food is so good, I'm just going to pre-order. I'm not going to wait for her to finish.

I can not resist excepting money even though I like to give you for free.

Because I love money.

I brought from New York, actually for you.

Thank you.

I'll show you how to make this

and then after that you are going to make this.

So one and a half tablespoon of brown sugar I'm using, but you can use white sugar too.

I'm going to melt this sugar but it's easily burnt,

so you need to control the heat by lifting this far from the heat.

Don't want to burn it because it will turn black, right?

Yeah, and then also it will be bitter.

Yeah

So melting, start melting.

Yeah

And then, with a small wooden spoon like this, stir this.

And then now it's too hot so, I'm going far from the heat.

This is mostly patience.

Haha

I rush through stuff.

I gotta chill.

Almost done.

Can you pick up a pinch of baking soda?

Yeah

Ok, here

Ok

Be brave.

Oh

My pinch is a big pinch.

Put it here.

Be brave.

Ok, look at that.

Alright

Changing

Changed colour

It did

Yeah

Looks like caramel now.

Some sugar here, not to stick each other.

Like this.

So we need this, like some stick.

Wow

1 2 3 4 5, that's it.

Ah

And then

This I like heart

Look at that

Let it cool down, maybe 1 minute and then next one is your turn.

My turn, I better not mess this up.

Here we go

So how many spoons are we going for?

One and a half tablespoon

Cooking some cookies~

When you go back your home,

probably I'm sure you are going make it.

"Oh, I'm going to make Korean candy!"

I know how to make Korean candy.

Yeah

That's bragging rights right there.

Your ladle is going to be burnt all the time.

Who made this burnt ladle?

I just saw you, you were so loving with it.

You do a really good job.

I used to work at a pizza place where I cooked pizza

and burnt pizza all the time.

So number one fear right now: burning something.

That 's interesting.

Korean candies make you, remind you all day of pizza.

Remind me of my nightmare.

Yeah

Burning things

Isn't it hahaha

All food is related to something, your memory.

In my case, it's always a good memory.

I never never forget some food that I thought was really delicious.

And also I want to learn. My eyes are sparkling to learn the recipe.

I have a lot stuck to the spoon though.

This guy is simply like this *demonstrates how to do it*

-Got it

You got it!

Until there is no lumps.

No lumps.

Let's make a really handsome one, hey?

Okay, keep going, be brave like I was.

Ohhh okay

So, go up, up.

Okay, okay, okay, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh

There you go

Okay, drop it?

Yeah, drop it nicely, like one.

Okay...

Beautifully

That's true.

Time is of the essence. Let's go!

And then, do this.
