Ever heard of Tanghulu? Well, if you haven’t, it’s about time to introduce you to this yummy fruity delicacy. Tanghulu is a traditional Chinese snack made of fruits coated with hardened sugar syrup, and it is as delightful as it is simple to make. Dating back to the Song Dynasty in China, it’s still popular today. It was traditionally made using Chinese hawthorn, but nowadays people use various types of fruits to make it.
If you’re craving a Tanghulu right now, you’re in luck! This super quick TikTok recipe by @matthewinthekitchen has got you covered, and you only need three simple ingredients to make it at home: sugar, strawberries, and water. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it’s not. After some careful pouring, mixing, and stirring, you’ll find yourself glaring at some fine-looking coated strawberries. Once you’re done, you can snap a pretty photo for your Instagram and serve it to friends, or better yet, keep them all to yourself.
