Korean Taffy (Simplified)
Yeot
Prep: 5 min | Cook: 20 min | Total: 25 min | Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup Corn syrup (or rice syrup)
- ½ cup Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- ¼ cup Cornstarch (for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Combine corn syrup, sugar, and water in a heavy pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Continue cooking without stirring until mixture reaches 270°F (132°C) — the soft-crack stage. This takes about 10-15 minutes.
- Pour onto a cornstarch-dusted surface. Let cool until handleable, then pull and stretch repeatedly until the candy turns opaque and lighter in color.
- Cut or break into bite-sized pieces. Roll in sesame seeds if desired. Yeot is one of Korea's oldest traditional candies.
