Soothing Ginger Candy Slices

Notes

Ingredients:
  • Fresh Ginger: 230g
  • Rock Sugar: 200g
  • Pure Water: 200ml
Instructions:
  1. Clean and peel the fresh ginger, then cut it into thin slices. Rinse the ginger slices several times in water to reduce the spiciness.
  2. In a non-stick pan, add 200ml of pure water and the rock sugar. Heat over high heat until the sugar dissolves, then add the ginger slices.
  3. Once boiling, stir with a spatula, and continue cooking for about 6-7 minutes until the syrup starts to reduce. Switch to medium-low heat and keep stirring until the syrup thickens.
  4. Cook until the syrup coats the ginger slices well, and they become sticky and integrated with the sugar.
  5. After turning off the heat, continue stirring. The sugar will thicken further and start to crystallize, turning white.
  6. Keep stirring until the ginger candy slices are dry and coated with a layer of frosty sugar.
  7. The delicious and soothing ginger candy slices are now ready to be enjoyed!
