The video is a guide on how to make Tanghulu soup at home using a microwave. The presenter shares their personal experiences and tips to avoid common mistakes that lead to failure.
The first tip is about the moisture of the fruit. When preparing the fruit, it's important to remove the moisture well, especially from fruits with skin like cherry tomatoes, grapes, and tangerines.
The second tip is about making the sugar syrup. The presenter emphasizes that the sugar and water should not be mixed together. Instead, the sugar and water should be put on a plate in a ratio of 2:1, and the sugar syrup should be made in the microwave without mixing.
The third tip is about the timing of melting the sugar syrup in the microwave. The presenter suggests turning the microwave in short bursts of about 1 minute to get the right sugar syrup.
After the sugar syrup is made, it should be swirled around the prepared fruit skewer and let it harden. The presenter warns against leaving the Tanghulu on the floor to prevent the sugar syrup from sticking.
Finally, the presenter recommends putting the sugar syrup in ice water to harden it quickly. Once the sugar syrup is hard like candy, it can be enjoyed at home.
The presenter concludes by encouraging viewers to try making Tanghulu at home following their tips to avoid failure.
1. The video is dedicated to people who have failed to make Tanghulu at home.
2. Tanghulu has become a trend and the creator has figured out how to make it using a microwave.
3. The first reason why Tanghulu fails when making at home is due to the moisture of the fruit.
4. If the fruit is not washed and the moisture is not properly removed from the outside, the sugar coating will not stick to the outside of the fruit.
5. Fruits like cherry tomatoes, grapes, and tangerines are recommended for Tanghulu due to their less moisture on the outside.
6. The video also mentions that juicy fruits without skin, such as strawberries, pineapples, and kiwis, are more likely to cause the first Tanghulu to fail.
7. The second reason for failure is due to the improper preparation of the sugar syrup.
8. The sugar syrup should not be mixed with water, but rather placed on a plate and heated in the microwave.
9. The third reason for failure is the incorrect time to melt the sugar syrup in the microwave.
10. The sugar syrup should be kept in its original state without mixing the sugar and water.
11. The video provides a specific ratio of sugar to water (2:1) and suggests using a scale to measure the ingredients.
12. The video also advises against turning the microwave too low or too high as this can cause the sugar syrup to either not stick to the fruit or burn.
13. The video suggests using a spoon to check the sugar syrup and ensures it becomes crispy when ready.
14. The video provides a step-by-step process of making Tanghulu at home in the microwave.
15. The final step in making Tanghulu is to swirl the sugar syrup around the prepared fruit skewer and let it harden.
16. It is crucial not to leave the Tanghulu on the floor while it is hardening as the sugar syrup that has not yet hardened will stick to the floor.
17. The video recommends gently placing a skewer on a plate at room temperature so that the sugar syrup does not stick to the bottom, or preparing ice water and quickly hardening it in cold ice water.
18. The video concludes by saying that Tanghulu can be enjoyed easily, deliciously, and comfortably at home.
