This is 2 weeks old fermented honey.
And cornstarch, to keep the honey from sticking.

Poke a hole through the honey, and begin stretching it to a long circular band.

Regularly dip the honey in cornstarch to keep it non-sticky.
Now, fold the band to a double and stretch once again.

Keep folding and stretching.
With each fold, you will have double the amount of individual strings. And they will keep getting thinner and thinner.

Keep folding.
We want 16 thousand strands of honey.

The final result.

This guy is really entertaining, and he has a funny accent. Almost stereotypical for an asian.
I think he knows, which just makes him more entertaining.

And I am not anywhere closer to knowing what dragon's beard candy is. Where's the end result?? Do they color it? Is it just honey strings?

Start by shoving your butt plug into the honey wad.

It's called 꿀타래 - Kkul Tarae, meaning "honey skein". It's a Korean dessert, mixed with other fillings like nuts, chocolate, etc

Technically it was infinite strands because it was a circle. Or zero. I'm not a mathematician.

Technically it ends with 16384 strands

I think the vendors use an ultra fine cornstarch, worth trying again :D

The colouring I used made it taste like ink. So I threw it all out.

How does one ferment honey? I thought it never went bad?

Fermented honey is called mead. They must be using the Nectar of the Gods to make this.

The link told me I had to have permission to see it but it was easy enough to find on YouTube search using “making dragon’s beard candy”

So tasty. It's usually a New Moon/Year treat, but Montreal has a stand in Chinatown. So tasty. Melts in your mouth with nuts for crunch.

Now, I'm curious, are you supposed to eat it like that, or is it mixed in with something else?

They make them into little squares with chopped nuts mixed in. Looks like Mini-Wheats

I thought that honey did not ferment? Like they found honey used by the Romans and it was still good.

I think you CAN ferment honey but if you just leave it like...sitting around it's not going to ferment on its own.

If that were the case, mead would be quite an achievement, no?

Mead yo

He said 16,000 (16,384 the way they make it), not 64 (which would be 65,536) if they did it 2 more times.
