[@aliyahpulido953]

Try "dalgona coffee!" It's essentially a coffee drink where the instant coffee grounds are whipped with water and sugar/sweetener, in equal parts of each (I use a tablespoon of each), until it's a light and spoonable foam, almost like whipped cream. This foam is then served on top of either hot or cold milk, and stirred in! Emmy did a video on Dalgona coffee, if you'd like to copy her method. I used my little electric milk frother, or an electric hand mixer to make it. Also, she cuts her own hair! It IS cute!

I was like u, so happy having them so prettily finished and then that daunting 'crack' out of nothing! I researched the issue but I only can give it a scientific explanation and it is the temperature in my kitchen. My kitchen was cold when I was making them so I assumed it was moving them that the temp shock was the reason for cracking. I thought it was the recipe but I tried 4 different ones (ratios) and all were working AND cracking on their own while cooling. I finally managed to have 3 survivors but I guess it was because I was using the oven at that point for my baking. However lol those 'whole survivors' became soooo sticky and soggy because I left them in the kitchen top and when the oven was off, the kitchen went back to our 'lovely' cold and muggy weather aaaahhhh I have made dalgona candy before (during summer) and I actually had to smash it with a rolling pin because of how stable it was (this was for the drink, no figure needed).

One time when we were kids we stole my friend's sister's Dalgona pan and tried to make it ourselves... We almost burnt the house down; our punishment was to eat the horrible burnt candy that we made with extra baking soda on top. We didn't try again after that... In my experience, Korean discipline tends to follow the philosophy of "let the punishment fit the crime"... It would not have made sense to physically beat us, or to take away our Nintendo, since we didn't beat anyone else, and our misbehavior was not Nintendo related... but we did have to literally eat our own mistake; after we suffered and gagged it down, they gave us plenty of water and fed us a nice dinner and hugged us and told us that they expected us to be good boys from now on, and then we were free to go back to playing and having fun like nothing ever happened...

I agree! I think it's great that people are being exposed to Korean culture, even if it's through just a candy or K-drama.

Korean Language Fact: The pronunciation of "gi" in Ppopgi is similar to that of "key" but "k" being vocalized to "g".

[@jordandubie6769]

*masked man glancing over and wondering who the heck she's talking to, holds gun tighter and takes a few steps back behind the slide*

[@ohyoonkwon]

Great video, Emmy - Just letting you guys know that Ppopgi (korean word that means a random draw, originated in this context for the random draw of the dalgona candy) is pronounced ppop-ki not ppop-ji. The g is pronounced like a k not j (like g in game). Also the double p is meant to be pronounced something between p and b, but I get it if that's hard to say.

[@ayamatsuiaya]

Thank you for this interesting information! I love learning about another language and culture. It’s difficult to teach and explain a sound that doesn’t exist in the other person’s language. I have never heard of “ppo” sound so of course I would of never known to pronounce it with a sound that is in between the English “p” sound and “b” sound. I’m Japanese and bilingual with Japanese and English. I always had a hard time explaining the “tsu” sound that exists in Japanese but not English. My maiden name is Matsui so it was something I had to explain often. It’s not “tu” sound or “su” sound. Vice verse in Japanese there is not a “L” sound so pronouncing “vanilla” almost always at the beginning sounds like “banana” for some reason 😂 Chili of course is a hard word for Japanese people too! It’s so funny 😆 Thank you for your Korean language lesson for the day 😁

[@ohyoonkwon]

@@ayamatsuiaya thanks Aya! Your experiences being bilingual are very relatable 😆

[@GiveMeLemons]

@@ayamatsuiaya that "ts" sound is the same as the German "z." It's so difficult to pronounce as an English speaker when it comes at the beginning of a word!

[@zk5228]

This is really cool! I don't speak Korean myself, but I'm a linguist so this kind of thing is my favorite. Here's my academic take on the sounds involved, with some fun pronunciation experiments you can try: First fun fact! Linguists (specifically, phonologists and phoneticians) categorize speech sounds based on a few key features- the position of your tongue, lips, etc as you pronounce a sound ("place"), whether your vocal cords are vibrating when you pronounce it ("voicing"), and how you control the airflow out of your mouth ("manner"). By changing these features, you get different sounds! English example: the sounds 't,' 'd,' 's,' and 'z' all have the same place (the tip of your tongue touches the ridge behind your teeth). When you pronounce T and S, your vocal cords don't move, so these are called 'voiceless,' while D and Z are 'voiced.' Try putting your hand on your voice box and alternate between saying S and Z to feel the difference in vibration! Finally, T and D are called stops, because your tongue stops the airflow out of your mouth; while S and Z are fricatives, because the air flows through a little gap above your tongue. Second fun fact: there's another feature of some consonants called "aspiration." When you make the consonant sound, a little extra puff of air comes out of your mouth. In English, we do this on the voiceless stops P, T, and K when they're at the beginning of words (but usually not in the middle of words, nor on the voiced equivalents of these sounds, B, D, and G). You can test this out by putting a thin piece of paper in front of your mouth and alternating P and B sounds, and see how it moves. Then say a word like "puppy" and compare the two P sounds! Third fun fact: back to Korean! We saw that in English 'puppy,' there are two P sounds that are slightly different because of aspiration. But even though they're different, English speakers consider them the same sound. Not so in Korean! For Korean speakers, changing the aspiration can change the word entirely. So saying "pul" with aspiration can mean 'grass,' while saying it without can mean 'fire.' Fourth fun fact: if you know Korean, you may be thinking "Wait! The word for fire is romanized like 'bul,' not 'pul.'" And that's correct! But recall what I said earlier- in English, voiced consonants (b, d, g) are never aspirated, and voiceless consonants (p, t, k) are always aspirated at the beginning of a word. So when an English speaker hears "pul" with no aspiration, they hear 1) the voicelessness of a P but 2) the aspirationlessness of a B. So to them, it sounds halfway between a P and a B! Fifth fun fact: the pp in 'ppopgi' doesn't actually fit into either of those categories. Korean has a third category of sounds called tense consonants, which aren't very well understood by linguists, and 'pp' belongs here. Still, tense consonants are unaspirated, so they have the same quality of sounding kind of like a P and kind of like a B to English speakers :) ^That was super long-winded, but I hope it was interesting! If you go on the Wikipedia page for Korean Phonology you can find out more info. Enjoy :)

[@pjihae]

@@zk5228 I speak both and that was really fascinating! Thank you for sharing that. I always tried to explain tense consonants as ‘hard’ English letters and voiceless consonants as ‘soft’ and people never understand what that means.

The characters all have real motivation. Every little detail has been well thought out. And it’s shot beautifully. Looks like a movie. Plus, the games being simple children’s game makes it more macabre. I heard people saying that Alice in Borderland (similar idea) was better than Squid Game. But it really wasn’t.

Would you consider making some Icelandic foods? An easy one to start with is plokkfiskur. It's a popular comfort food here. Easy to make, few ingredients and very tasty.

Now if only she could make authentic hverabrauð; it seems like that would be right up her alley!

Emmy definitely did not survive this Squid Game. Her first crack = game over. Her distractions and wishfulness don't change the rules.

Hi, Emmy! "I forgot to lick it!" Glad to see that you won the Ppopgi game!

[@asprywrites]

I just finished binging Squid Game allllllll dayyyyyyy. It's TOO GOOD. A couple of dumb things, but mostly it's very smart and very brutal.

[@0T772]

Finishing the last episode now and I'm speechless, such a crazy and amazing show ever!!!! I'm shutting off my phone now so no one can spoil it here!!! 😂😅😂 I'll be back when I finish it!!! Btw, I'm definitely making this candy, thanks for the recipe Emmy!!!!

[@1VampieNight]

If you enjoy Squid games you might also enjoy A Netflix show called Alice in Borderland. It has a very similar concept. 😊

[@ayamatsuiaya]

@@1VampieNight I liked that show as well! (Especially since I’m Japanese so I was able to watch without having to read subtitles) however the ending was bullshit. I can see that may be the creator was creating assuming a 2nd season but either way I wished there was more explanation or something... plus you know there’s no way that Chishiya figured out that underground location just with that crazy “map” that lady had in her pocket! 🤣 (Sorry I got kinda excited cause you are literally the first person ever to mention that show! 😂)

[@1VampieNight]

@@ayamatsuiaya Haha!! It's fine. And I agree we needed a better ending!! So it's for sure that a second season isn't happening? I'm American so I'm not always in the loop. Lol!!!

[@vspence2]

@@ayamatsuiaya I was also pretty annoyed at how the first season of Alice in Borederland ended, so I found the manga it was based on because I didn’t want to wait for the second season (if it’s even going to happen because, you know, Netflix). It’s so good, and the show doesn’t do it justice, in my opinion. It was published several years back and it has an ending, so if you’re really interested in the series, I highly recommend it. The ending is literally a head trip (I won’t say anymore so no spoilers).

[@ayamatsuiaya]

@@vspence2 I definitely need to check out the manga for sure! Have you seen the anime version? If so how was that? Honestly they put a lot into the show just to end it horribly. I do hope for a season 2 but like you said who knows what Netflix will decide to do. Totally unrelated but if you like manga based shows and anime, have you watched Erased on Netflix? It’s soooo good!!

[@sarahbethany2443]

I think you should cook with liquid nitrogen! Not sure if you already have.

[@techo___o]

Emmy would be a great character in the game.

[@Vincent-ds3kc]

I think you did it wrong because the candy should be puffier and more light and airy.

The pronunciation of ppopgi is not ppopzi, it is ppopki. Nice video as always Emmy.

[@LaMonaKNiver1]

I know you have discussed this before, but what is the name / type of that stove. I think it should be in our Hurricane supply stash.

[@jonathsk]

Just to help clarify -- "Poppgi" is pronounced POHWP (the "o" sound like in the word "go")-GEE (the "g" sound like in the word "guitar"). Spelled 뽑기. POHWP means to "select" or "pick out"

[@sweetgalcindy]

Good with nuts in it like cashews to make like a cashew brittle

[@laurenholmes1987]

Does anyone know why every recipe for making dry caramel says not to stir it (or else the sugar will crystallize), but making dalgona includes stirring the sugar the whole time? It’s the same as making a dry caramel, up until the baking soda is added.

[@loupgarou95]

The amount of sugar for dalgona is so small letting it melt by itself would always burn it. Easier to risk a little graininess and just stir it

[@donna7881]

It's the making of peanut brittle

[@indik8661]

Thank you for YOU Emmy! Your videos are beautiful and sooo informative with so much heart and soul in every episode. ❤️❤️❤️

[@MizzBee13]

I always wonder about the people who would give posts like this a thumbs down. What’s up with that??? So weird! Emmy is all around delightful 💕

[@emmymade]

Thank you. 😊

[@francihenderson8526]

This is also known as Honeycomb candy. I think it is more common in the UK, but my mother used to make her peanut brittle exactly like this, just with the peanuts and butter in it. Best peanut brittle ever.

[@officialau]

THANK YOU FOR NOT CALLING IT HONEYCOMB OR COOKIE As a Korean person, I've been getting so annoyed with how the same people who called dalgona coffee "whipped coffee" call dalgona/ppopki everything other than what it is.

i looked up how much money they were playing for in american money. when i found out i was like "38 million dollars?! that's it?! all of this just for that?! nooooo!!!!" lol

That’s still a lot of money tho especially bc they were in debt

[@Kinglisette]

Everything is also cheaper there I think

[@daytonchris8351]

@@Kinglisette lol yeah it's still alot of money, but not to me for all they're doing. if it was billions, like american billions, then i can see how they got so tempted. lol and all right cool, i didn't know it was cheaper to live out there. that does make more sense.

[@Octy_in_Boots]

This recipe is very simple and adaptable! I tried making it in the microwave with a tablespoon of sugar in a little silicone cup. After microwaving the sugar alone for nearly 2 minutes, it wasn't even warm. I added a few drops of water, and that worked really well! I also used an oiled piece of aluminum foil since I didn't have parchment. I had some tiny flower die-cutters for bento veggie decorations and that was the perfect size for my mini ppopgi! P.S. I survived.

Aside from a few major issues toward the end…unanswered and ham handed finishing points I was so deeply engrossed in squid game I felt a tad ashamed 😂 I have always been averse to fluffy fictional things but there I was, September 17/18th and I saw these colors and the word “squid” so naturally I clicked (ooooh shiny, because we are all crows) and there I was commuting with it on, and sneaking it on break at work. Now I’ve fallen for both queens gambit AND SG and I feel so…pedestrian 😂 But them squid shits is heckin good fun! I reckon you’re too busy to watch, and I had to cram it in but the vicarious TERROR was somehow perfect in this era 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you for making this candy, I always enjoyed the game! Had Korean neighbors as a kid and their omma made ppopgi for parties. She said “it’s old fashioned, from my childhood, don’t break it hahahaha” It’s delicious, and I’ve heard it called honeycomb candy, and dalgona so I’m always grateful to you for elucidating the nuances, thanks again! Sugar vs glucose :) I also know vinegar and baking soda may be added or omitted. I’ve never made it but I’ve made peanut brittle, seems close, minus the fat.

[@madisonevans7950]

I used to buy milk tea with a side of dalgona candy to sweeten it up. Its legit one of the best things Ive ever had in my life. Planning on recreating it this monday

[@sensokaeru7070]

Ohhh! Since I know you love learning the food science, you'll love this fact! Making caramel from sugar isn't "melting" like making water from ice. It's actually a "thermal decomposition." The sugar is a carbohydrate, which just means it contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Heating it breaks it down so that it loses some of its hydrogen and oxygen in the form of water.

[@amberprice5414]

Is this similar to peanut brittle (without the peanuts?) - I’m SO curious to try it!!!! ❤️

[@itsnotyouitsme_]

That's what I was wondering too.

[@dianepratt1878]

I was wondering about peanut brittle, too.

[@amberhuntsman5221]

Almost, flavor wise. But texture wise, its more airy.

[@michellem9444]

It looks great! Question: I just have a regular, circular burner stove, not a gas burner or propane stove. I'm guessing I couldn't use the ladle method to make dalgona. Is there a recipe for a regular stove? Thanks! :)

[@RoyalBlue4486]

I’m sure it would still work. Might be a little easier not to overheat the sugar since you aren’t working with an open flame.

[@michellem9444]

@@RoyalBlue4486 Thanks!

[@sweepingtime]

I had to watch this because the whole world is going crazy over Squid Game. Previous videos on Depression Era meals would have helped the cash-strapped contestants a lot lol.

Just like you mentioned, the sugar candy goes well with coffee. In some of Korean coffee shops sell iced-coffee topped with lots of crumbled the sugar candy. I hope that you can try that, too.

[@misschristy123]

[@hedruum]

This is a very similar base to the peanut brittle recipe I grew up with in South Georgia. That bitterness you noticed is probably the baking soda which I actually think adds to the flavor when combined with a little butter and vanilla.

[@Benni777]

This looks so good! I can imagine every kid loving this candy treat! I can also imagine kids coming up to my doorstep as on of the Pink Guards this Halloween! 😍

[@anakelly76512]

I haven't heard of Squid Games til yesterday. So, basically, it's a brittle type candy. (I wrote that before you said this. ☺)

[@minipolenet]

Surprisingly, it seems that you understand the difference between dalgona and ppopgi because you think you have an understanding of food and not just following trends. Dalgona is similar to western honeycomb toffee, but it was originally made from glucose blocks and now uses sugar. Candy made by melted sugar and pressed is ppopgi.

It’s pronounced like “bbohp ghee”!!! Not pop G😂 romanization is the worst😭😆
