Instructions

Put 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar in a ladle over medium-low to low heat. When the sugar starts melting around the edge, stir with a wooden chopstick.
Continue to stir the sugar until it melts and caramelizes. If the sugar burns too quickly, reduce the heat. Once all the sugar has melted, it should have a light caramel color.
Remove the ladle from heat, and add a pinch of baking soda. Keep stirring until well mixed.
Pour the sugar mix on a silicon mat and press gently with a Hotteok Press to flatten. Using a cookie cutter, quickly press down to create an indentation on the surface of the candy. Allow the candy to cool, and then lift it up with a spatula.
To store the dalgona candy, once cooled, place them in an airtight zip bag and keep them on the counter for up to 3 days. However, if the climate is humid, your dalgona candy may become sticky.

Notes

How to enjoy Dalgona
When the candy is cooled, lift up the candy and try to break the edges around the indented shape pattern. Have fun playing around.
You can enjoy dalgona as is, but try enjoying it as a topping for ice cream. Yummy!
