Dragon's beard candy

According to legend, Dragon's Beard Candy was invented during the Chinese Han dynasty[4] by an imperial court chef who entertained the emperor one day by performing the complicated steps in making a new confection, which involved stretching a dough-like mixture composed from rice flour into small, thin strands.

Nevertheless, in recent years, the art has resurfaced in tourist destinations such as street festivals, and has even spread to farther reaches of the globe through dedicated masters of the task.

Thirdly, the gooey chunk must be shaped into a ring resembling a doughnut, the key feature being the large hole.

This step must by followed by repeatedly pulling, twisting, stretching, and folding the dough over on itself, doubling the number of strands created after each repetition.

Finally, the ring should be cut into small pieces and wrapped around crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, crunched chocolate, or coconut inside.

Specific Dragon's Beard Candy filling depends on several factors, such as region, purpose, and respective chef.

However, cotton candy has a larger surface area, thus allowing a small amount of sugar to generate into a greater volume of product.
