Look at that.

看看這東西

Hi, I'm Inga.

嗨！我是 Inga

Today we're gonna try and make this super cool looking cotton candy called dragon beard's candy.

今天我們要來製作這種看起來超酷的棉花糖，叫做「龍鬚糖」

This candy originated from China, apparently ancient emperors used to eat this.

這種糖來自中國，聽說古代的皇帝都吃這個

Think of cotton candy that's made purely from your hands.

把他想成單單用「雙手」就能做出的棉花糖

That's pretty cool.

超酷的啊

Success rate is super, super low,

成功率超級...超級低

but we're still gonna give it a shot.

但我們還是要來試試看

Let's do it.

一起來做做看吧

The ingredients are pretty simple.

它的成分非常單純

It's basically just sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, and water.

就是糖、糖和糖，還是糖，再加上水

Sugar, water, corn syrup, vinegar, maltose.

所以有糖、水、玉米糖漿、醋還有麥芽糖

You put them all in this pot, boil them up until it becomes this sticky, gooey liquid

把食材全部加入這鍋中，煮滾至呈現這個黏黏稠稠的液體狀

that we're then gonna shape into candy.

然後我們就要把它塑成龍鬚糖了

I also got burn relief gel because I wasn't sure if I would burn myself.

我還買了燙傷膏以防萬一

So one step at a time.

我們一步一步來

If I remember correctly what I was supposed to do.

若我記得沒錯的話

So sugar first.

要先放糖

Ooh hoo hoo.

嗚呼呼

Get every single bit.

每一滴都要刮進去

Maltose.

麥芽糖

Super gooey.

超黏稠的

That's what it looks like.

你看，它長這個樣子

From the videos and the recipes I saw,

根據我看過的影片跟食譜

I'm supposed to turn this on and then not stir it.

我應該要先開火，然後不要攪拌

If you stir it, the sugar's gonna crystallize,

要是攪拌了，糖就會結晶

and if it crystallizes, you're screwed.

要是結晶了，就完了

And that is a big no-no.

這樣是不行的

Oh my god.

我的天啊

Okay, so now I'm supposed to just leave it running.

好，所以我現在要放著讓它慢滾

I'm not the most patient person in the world, so.

我超沒耐心的

It's about 225, looks like a little volcano.

現在的溫度大概是 225 度 F，像極了一個小火山

You can only look at it, which is what I'm doing.

我現在只能呆呆地看著這一鍋

Looking at it.

繼續看著它

But it's so slow.

但是真的好慢喔

I think I might have cooked it for too long.

我覺得我好像煮過頭了

It's 277, I don't know if we're screwed.

現在是 227 度 F，我不知道這鍋是不是毀了

I'm gonna pour this into this silicon mold.

我要把這鍋倒進這個矽膠模型裡

Oh my god.

我的老天啊

Okay.

好的

Oh that was not a good idea.

這麼做好像有點笨

We're going to let it cool down for a little bit.

現在我們要讓它稍微冷卻一下

We are back in business.

我們現在回到現場

The cornstarch is to keep it from sticking together.

玉米澱粉可以防止龍鬚糖黏在一起

Here we go.

來囉

I think it's ready.

我覺得應該好了

Ooh, look at that.

哇！你們看！

This is what it looks like right now.

它現在是長這個樣子

Very, very pliable.

非常地柔韌

We're gonna poke a hole through this,

在中間戳一個洞

cover it in starch, ooh.

把它埋進玉米澱粉裡，哇

That feels nice.

這感覺挺棒的

We're gonna shape it into a ring.

把它捏成一個環狀

Keep doing this, and then twisting it.

然後繼續把環拉大，然後在中間轉一圈

One ring becomes two rings, two rings become four rings,

1 圈就會變成 2 圈，2 圈變 4 圈

up until we get to 16,000 rings.

直到我們拉到 16,000 圈就完成了

If that sounds really ambitious, it is.

聽起來好像有點難挑戰對吧？ 沒錯

How it looks so far.

目前長這個樣子

Ahh.

啊

Twist it, now we have two rings.

轉 1 圈，現在我們有 2 圈了

So we're gonna keep pulling it.

然後我們要繼續拉

Oh my god.

我的天啊

In the trash.

進垃圾桶吧

Guess that means we're gonna do another one.

看來我們得再試一個 了

Here we go.

來吧

Nope.

不行

This means we have to come back, redo the sugar.

這代表著我們得回去上個步驟，重新煮糖了

All right.

好的

Next time, you can cut.

下一次吧，你可以停機了

It's after work now, I'm just gonna keep on doing this.

已經是下班時間了，我要來繼續做這個龍鬚糖

Can't just give up.

不能就這樣放棄

My dad didn't bring me up like that.

我爸從小就告訴我不能放棄

I cooked the sugar less this time.

我這次減短了煮糖的時間

Last time I couldn't even get it this big.

上次我根本沒辦法拉到這麼大圈

Feels good.

感覺不錯

Stretchy, stretchy.

延展性很好

One to two.

1 圈變 2 圈

Two to four.

2 圈變 4 圈

Ooh, look at that.

哇，你們看看

It's stretching, there's no cracks.

越拉越長，而且也沒有裂開

I think it might actually work.

我覺得這次很有可能會成功耶

Four plus four.

4 加 4

Eight to 16.

8 變 16

It definitely feels very flexible.

延展性感覺非常地好

32, right?

應該是 32 對吧？

Oh my god, this is so much better than the first batch.

天啊，這比第一批做出來的好太多了

Maybe they just don't want me to succeed in front of people.

也許它就是不想要我在這麼多人面前成功

32 plus 32 is 64.

32 加 32 是 64

It looks like it's going somewhere!

看來我們有些成果了

128.

128 圈

Pulling it, 256.

繼續拉 ，256 圈

Looks like it's working.

看起來是成功了

512.

512 圈

1,024.

1024 圈

You see that, I couldn't even get it past two last time.

你們看到了嗎？我上次根本連兩圈都拉不成

2,048.

2084 圈

This is really working my muscles, 4096.

我的肌肉好痠喔，4096 圈

8,192.

8192 圈

So close.

就快成功了

Last one.

最後一次

16,384.

16,384 圈

Yo, yeah.

噢耶

16K, I did it.

16,000 圈，我成功了

Wha.

哇

Should we go one more?

要不要再拉一次？

32,768.

32,768 圈

There it is.

完成啦

Look like a dragon's beard?

有沒有像龍的鬍鬚？

This looks like a 400 thread count Egyptian cotton bed sheet.

這看起來超像 400 紗支數的埃及棉床單

Now we're gonna fill it with peanut filling.

現在我們要來包花生餡

Oh, I'm so excited.

我超興奮的

It looks like whiskers.

看起來好像貓的鬍鬚

Take a strand, put it in here.

抓一撮糖，把餡包進去

There's a tiny little bite right there.

這樣是一小口

Does somebody wanna try this?

有沒有人想試吃一下

It's really good.

超好吃的欸

Yes.

超讚的

I did it, I feel like I just climbed a mountain

我成功啦，感覺好像征服了一座高山

and I'm at the very top.

而我站在山頂上

People who are professionals at this, what they do really is amazing.

專門做龍鬚糖的人真是太讓人敬佩了

So that's another thing off of my bucket list.

我又完成一項願望清單上的項目了

I've made the impossible cotton candy from ancient China.

我成功的做出來自中國古代的棉花糖

Let's see what we can do next.

來看看我們下次還能做什麼吧？
