- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup (or oligodang)
- 2 cups water (approx. 400ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, I’ll show you how to easily make delicious Tomato Tanghulu right at home. It’s a perfect snack for kids or a fun treat to share with friends!
Step 2
While cherry tomatoes are delicious on their own, transforming them into Tanghulu creates a truly special dessert! The key to great Tomato Tanghulu is the perfect ratio of ingredients for the syrup. We’ll be mixing and boiling sugar, water, and corn syrup in precise proportions.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the essential syrup for your Tanghulu. In a wide pot, combine 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of corn syrup, and 2 cups of water. Stir gently over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, continue to boil over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens to a syrupy consistency. (Caution: Be careful not to overcook, as it can burn. Aim for a light golden hue.)
Step 4
Prepare about 20 cherry tomatoes, washed and thoroughly dried. Threading the tomatoes onto skewers will make dipping into the syrup much easier later. Carefully dip the skewered tomatoes into the hot syrup, ensuring they are evenly coated. Once coated, immediately remove them and briefly dip them into ice water, or place them on parchment paper to cool. This step helps to create a crispier shell.
Step 5
Voila! Your delicious Tomato Tanghulu is ready! The outer shell is crisp and sweet from the sugar coating, while the inside offers the fresh, juicy burst of the tomato. The satisfying crunchy texture is absolutely delightful. Enjoy your treat!
