Binging with Babish: Dalgona from Squid Game
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 10. 2021
- Candy takes a turn for the deadly this week as we recreate the viral honeycomb candy from Squid Game, whose complex shape must be extracted to avoid a bullet to the head. The stakes are decidedly lower in real life, but as it turns out, dalgona has a few tricks up its sleeve...or I'm just very bad at making it.

Should've made a triangle.
Our chances are better if we separate
This one looked like the candy had at a rave party a while back.
Yeah
Glad I'm not the only one who immediately tried to make these. Shocking how much technique goes into these things! And they taste like roasted marshmallows!
Should had me your pf icon tbh
I imagine that scene where the main girl is going through the vents and she just faintly hears from the distance "welcome to basics with babish and today we're doing dalgona"
I would love to see this as an edit lol. For the show though, they actually hired an old man that made Dalgona constantly. Apparently, it took a FUCKTON of dalgona because during certain shots it was breaking when it wasn’t supposed too. And each main actor had their own person from the art director’s department that was switching and checking out their dalgona. Everyone wanted to die after they finish filming the second game. There is an interview explaining it on Netflix’s channel with the writer/director/creator of the show and the art director.
@@Iceechibi So in other words. Everyone would die in game 2 if Squid Game was real. lol
@@Iceechibi you know what, maybe ill edit that...
This is canon, no one can tell me otherwise
Babish even has the Squid Game insignia on his right arm
Making these things could really be its own game within Squid Game itself. Imagine how many of the chefs they had to execute.
@wuoi zuiu mrbeast be like
@@Elira-jr4tv *True hahahaha*
Sounds like Masterchef with higher stakes lol
Nah they can just buy it from street vendors. They're pros and it's cheaper.
Gordon Ramsey’s Seafood Game
it IS hard to make them!! idk how everyone else makes it seem so easy 😭
Cutting clips
Most all the other videos I am seeing of it being portrayed as easy is all made by Asians. So I guess it’s in their blood
the only post the take where they succeeded, not the failed ones. :)
I only see vids of them being made by street vendors, it makes sense that its super easy for them given that they do it for a living
@@krystlcrtz it is not hard I made it in my first try and I never made it before
Not going to lie, after seeing everyone and their mother making Dalgona candy on here flawlessly, it's kind of amazing seeing Babish mess up so many times. Glad it had a happy ending though.
lol that's so true🎃
That's because, like most social media, what you're seeing in most videos is people's 103rd take trying to get the right picture or video or whatever. You don't see their imperfections.
When making dalgona, sprinkle sugar or oil on the bottom to make it easier😄😄
As usual, often it seems the simple things are the ones hard to master.
All you see is the perfect ones
Plot twist: Babish was the one who provided all the Dalgona in Squid Game
SPOILERS: Babish was actually one of the VIPS, you heard it here first
fun fact: "The dalgona used in "The Man with the Umbrella" were made by a street vendor from Daehangno" and they saw a surge in sales after the show released :)
if he did, everyone would be dead.
The Guards: _bruh_
Nooooo! 😱
I'll give you some nice trick. When you are adding baking soda, just use the chopstick that you'be been using to stir the Dalgona. When you are pressing the Dalgona, sprinkle some sugar on the metal plate then pour the dalgona over. Then do a sugar powder coat (no oil coating) on the surface of a pressing tool. Wait for at least 10-15 sec before you press the Dalgona. Trust me, these are nice trick from my grandma who used to sell Dalgona to kids back in Korea.
thx for the tips! :D
wow tysm!!
@Riana Naipaul Many Koreans are surnamed Kim.
@Riana Naipaul Kim is incredibly common as a last name lol
pov: the cooks in Squid Game trying to perfectly make dalgona, and they have a breakdown
Because those (definitely not 'Among Us' crews) *pink armed guards*
is been prying on them all...🥴🔫
And if somebody just accidentaly broke that *honeycomb toffee candy 🍭* yet , those "Pinky Soldiers" will about to *eliminate/executed them all* ...🔫
That’s not how you use pov you dense cabbage
Poor guys had to make like 200 of those f***ers
It was made by a street vendor, hes pretty famous now :)
using the meme wrong cmon
this is one of the most chaotic episodes we’ve had in a while, *and i’m here for it*
I am, as a matter of fact, also here. You know, for it
You haven't seen chaos until you've seen How To Basic's video
Still less mess than How to Basic parodies
It's reminiscent of the Ube cake episode, which solidified my appreciation for Babish's commitment to the accuracy of his creations.
instead of the nonstick spray if you added a layer of powdered sugar or just sugar it doesn't stick to the metal as badly when your pressing it down. Great video btw!
Yeah, Netflix showed how they make it and you can see him sprinkle some.
Parchment paper works too
I was wondering why he wasn't using something like a silicone mat in one of the later takes. I get him trying out the traditional way with the kit, but after so many attempts I'd have just tried the silpat.
Plus it would make sense concidering the candy was made long before nonstick spray existed
Also removing it when it is hot makes it easier because it is more pliable
I have to say, I appreciate getting to see the errors/failed attempts on these. They make the episodes all the more entertaining, especially with Andrew's signature wry humor.
I do appreciate Andy’s method acting of getting as stressed as the characters in Squid Game
when you can make almost any dish perfectly but you break a whole whisk making coffee
lol
Should have been a tiny whisk...
Parkour~
That's mean but PFFT-

"Babish works real hard and accomplishes nothing"
That is something I can relate too
I definitely relate to the second part at least
I can relate to that very well
Can't we all
Don't feel bad. Everything that has been accomplished by humans on earth has had absolutely no impact on the universe whatsoever 😉

The guards in the show have some serious culinary skills, gotta give them that.
Don't forget... they found a way to get a message into the center of a boiled egg!

"A message ✉️ into the center of a boiled egg 🥚", huh...😕?
So *what do you meant in the first place* , panzerkiller13 🤔?
@@panzerkiller13 Like in Snowpiercer? Is this a Korean thing - a message inside an egg?
@@0xlamon I'm guessing he's talking about how the doctor's egg had a letter in it.
@@0xlamon it actually isn't... but that's a coincidence. huh.
Don’t flatten it fresh out of the pan, wait about 20 seconds, flatten then stamp. Don’t try to move it when warm, that’s guaranteed breakage.
also i think it would be much easier if they used some wax paper squares
@@Bomberninja Parchment paper maybe, but wax paper would make them taste like a crayon. The molten candy is going to probably be over 300 degrees leaving the pan.
@@Meton2526 my bad i get those mixed up
Yeah, he was a bit too quick. Lol.
Tricky timing.
He also shouldn't have used that non stick spray, the stalls in Korea uses crushed up sugar so they won't stick and it works perfectly for them!
"Turn it out to our well greased coke mirror." Is a phrase I'd never thought I'd hear babish utter. But boy am I here for it😂
"Trying to play the Dalgona game by myself was tiring and a waste of time, so I invited several homeless people to an island to play with me"

I haven't actually seen squid game yet, but it sounds like severe anxiety about simple tasks actualized. The logic of if I can't do this, I'm going to die. And that's honestly terrifying.
That's one way to interpret it, sure
Spoiler Alert. The protagonist wins and everyone dies.
When I was a kid there used to be a Dalgona making machine that activates when you put a dime in. You put coins in, and the machine gives you sugar and soda just enough to make a single portion. Then you melt the thing on the copper thing and pour it to pre-heated space that looks like dented cookie cutter. If you fail you wouldn't have been able to lift it from the cutter so you lose the money and get no candy. Basically the Millenial Koreans were trained since childhood to make perfect Dalgonas.
You don't need the dalgona set for this. Just use an old ladle, something with a flat base and grease paper. Use sugar instead of non-stick spray for better results. Also, no need to fan it to cool. If you are using a flat metal surface, the dalgona will cool off by itself.
nice tip
v v important comment!! esp the sugar tip!
The fan makes it faster tho
Nah you need to use aluminum foil
what if you don’t have a ladle? is it possible to use a small pan?
Dalgona coffee with actual dalgona is actually rather common in Korean cafés! Once you get better at making dalgona in the first place, just crush them into tiny chunks (slightly bigger then crude salt) and garnish the dalgona pieces on top of the dalgona cream you already have.
Also yes, your pronunciation is great :)
Up
you see this tiktok?
@@arlynnecumberbatch1056 dude their last name is Kim. They're very likely Korean.
@@violetskies14 yeah but i was glaring at tiktok users thinking dalgona foamed coffee is dalgona
its weird and funny that my childhood activities are now a worldwide fascination haha
I'm an Australian who was a child in the 90's. Welcome to my life.
The part where he collapses to his knees, presumably cursing, is how I spend most of my time in the kitchen working with candy or baked goods.
FYI: A milkshake machine works well for making dalgona coffee. I worked at a coffee shop owned by a greek family and they had a drink they called a "Nescafe Frappe". Basically starts off the same as dalgona coffee with sugar, water, and instant coffee, but we shook it with ice and milk instead of pouring over milk for the layered look. We used a milkshake machine to make the whipped coffee.
@@Flying-Chicken huh
Whelp, I think we know what a future "Botched by Babish" episode will be.
@Jonathan Leiman how is that so?
The fact babish shows his mistakes is just wholesome for some reason
To everyone who try to make dalgona at home:
Scatter the sugar on the plate before you pour the melted sugar. Or you can’t separate it with plate.
Alright, we just gotta host a real squid game and whoever loses gets a tiny whisk thrown at their head. perfect!
Bonk

THATS DEADLY, YOUR OUT OF YOUR MIND
Medium saucepn for maximum Babishness
secretly, in the kitchens, there was another room full of down-on-their-luck chefs, weeping as they tried to make dalgona for the games, guards all pointing rifles at them as they tearfully attempted to not break the candies
This is canon.
Wasn’t there armed guards in the kitchen?
@@zellafae
Yep. I think those (definitely not Among Us' crews) *armed guards* are coming to somebody's kitchen or even a *Dalgona candy stand* in Korea when someone is trying to make their own version of *dalgona candy* yet...🍭

@@xSTTS
Heheheheh...😄
If making that *honeycomb candy 🍭* was not quite easy as it sounds, how about to cut it into shape (using a toothpick/needle) right...😓? (Do you either making it or just shaping the candy with a needle/toothpick right 😏?)
The way Babish pronounces "Dalgona" makes it sound like the racetrack the Nascar circuit proceeds to after Daytona
I’ve found that using baking soda to dust your surfaces instead of a nonstick spray works a lot better (you can brush it off later to help the taste), also helps to pour the mixture onto parchment paper instead of the metal plate

I love that making dalgona looks as tedious and annoying as extracting the actual shape. All of it looks painful
This was a remarkably salty episode despite the fact that dalgona contains none.
but it does. baking soda is a salt. ;)
@@trustrustrust You win this round.
Gotta give credits to those dalgona vendors.
Making dalgonas ain't easy, Even the glorious Babish couldn't make a perfect one
From what I've learned from watching behind the scenes of Squid Game, and down the rabbit hole of how to make this candy, it's truly an art form. On one Netflix video, they had the cast try to get the shape out, but the first quarter of the video was a guy making them, it was absolutely mesmerizing to watch, like a blown glass artist.
Link?
Its on The Swoon, Netflix's official channel on all things k-drama
I found a nice trick to make them stick less. Coat both the surface and the press lightly with powdered sugar. It really helped a lot
crazy how two different ‘dalgona’ were both huge hits two years running!
So which 'Dalgona' you're been preferred yet, Zion?
Is it *the coffee ☕* or *the honeycomb candy* 🍭 right...😏?
@@rahadianaryo5979 I like the coffee, the candy, not so much.
@@cyann410
The candy one 🍭 was pretty fun right...
(Do you like to carve *the shape of honeycomb toffee* right? Are you sure about that 😏?)
Okay, but hear me out:
I'm currently watching Shrek 2. How possible would it be for him to make the entire dinner from the scene where Shrek and The King argue and devour the meal like vicious animals?
Oh yeah I forgot abt that scene
YES
I especially want to see him tackle cooking an entire pig.
I would like to see Babish tackle this. I forgot about that scene.
I'm genuinely surprised at how much attention this is getting. I love it.
"Well greased 'coke' mirror"
Sounds like I need to send you a questionable scale.
Was thinking the same thing 😁
And a suspicious razor blade
You know if you know 😏
There was a "special" scale featured in a 420 episode, the galaxy cake. A fun easter egg
Great vid, I made it and it took me eight attempts in total. I few things that I did to make it work great was by pouring it on to a cutting board, smashing it with a spatula, and after pressing the shape I took a glass cup, turned it upside down and pressed it into the candy. That gave it the perfectly round shape. It looked more like the one that was in squid game then I expected.
I can’t believe Babish lived through that challenge, he literally broke the Dalgona like 1,000 times.
Legend says that he’s the cameraman of Squid Game.

Gayest thing ive ever read
It’s extremely comforting to know I wasn’t the only one who had a very hard time getting these right
I missed simple et entertaining classic episodes like this one. Thank You!
Th new formats aren't bad or anything, but the classic is a classic for a reason.
“The first thing to go wrong in this episode” cracked me up xD
I was under the impression Dalgona coffee wasn’t called that due to the similarity in flavor but because the foam on top looks like the candy after the baking powder is added/before it’s poured
“Uh oh, I broke it.”
Squid Game: *You know the rules, and so do I.*
Fun Fact : the man who made the dalgonas for filming is the person who has been making it for more than a decade. He has been doing his thing at the same spot for years and every Seoul ppl knew where to find him even before the show. Really amazing to see what kind of buzz that the guy has created all over the world.
Great job

I'm happy to see you used the true name of the confection, rather than just calling it "the squid game candy." Babish stays a man of culture
I love the fact Andrew is messing up so many times trying to get the candy off the mirror more than struggling to cut it out

Babish needs to make his own custom squid-based food and pitch the idea for the next season for Squid Game

Do you think there will be another season?
Lol
Maybe fried squid or something?
No
This ep reminds me of the ube roll episode where babish remade that roll cake over and over. Once again his dedication to getting the recipe right no matter how many tries it takes is honestly inspirational lol. Definitely helped me after my fourth hot milk cake didn't rise properly, again, to be like ok. Here's what I'm going to try next time. Got it on try 5!
I loved the blade runner reference. I also loved how I felt his soul leave his body when he went to blend the mixture and got it all over 🤣
I can't tell what's harder, getting the shape out or actually making the candy.
with the experience of failing dalgona all these years i had a reference that the concentration of baking soda reflects on the result of non-stickage but the consistancy is not easy to grasp.
But I have to say I was surprised and happy to see you try this on your channel. the gadgets were spot on btw

Im so happy to hear that introductory cut from squid game at the beginning in actual Korean, not english dubbed.
As someone who lost their sense of smell and taste due to Covid, your videos have really helped me still appreciate food, albeit vicariously.

@@SeanStrife hopefully temporary, but it has been 4 months since I lost it.
A couple things:
The guy who made the dalgona for “Squid Games” used powdered sugar on the metal flattened thing.
Also: In “Netflix Korea’s” interview with some of the cast members from “Squid Game,” they had to play the dalgona game as they answered questions. To help them along, they were given a toothpick and a lighter.
they used a needle, not a toothpick

Imagine being in squid game and babish just randomly makes coffee in challenge 2
I can't help wondering if the kit was more of a hindrance than a help. After having just watched Emmy's (aka emmymade's) video on making this with things from around her own kitchen (a ladle, disposable chopstick, greased baking paper, a flat bottomed bowl and cookie cutter shapes) it seemed much easier than the flattening method used here.
Although I feel like that would result in a botched by babish episode where he would have to try the traditional method. But also I feel like we're going to get a botched by babish episode anyway from this so that he can succeed.
It's when he explains the rules is when it dawns on me how absurd Squid Game is.
I never use a press, I however use a tiny spring-form to get a nice shape on top of some backing paper. Worked perfectly nearly every single try.
Sorry for the late tips but you should be heating it over low heat, not medium heat. Also, give it about 15-20 seconds to cool after pouring it out before you stamp it. You can grease your stamper to help it come off a bit easier, but you shouldn't have to if you made them properly. Hope these tips helped.
"Something has appeared to have happened here" is a versatile quote
And what it is ain't exactly clear
"Man with the whisk" Temporary title of Mr.Babish
i’ve made these many times, first try was slightly burnt but i’ve got perfect ever since
In iterations I've seen of this candy, they generally use a larger surface to pour the melted candy which has more weight and prevents stickage, as well as grinding up granulated sugar with the presser tool on the pouring surface to further prevent sticking.
Try parchment paper. Also don't freeze when removing it, do it with confidence and in one motion
If you need a scary & disgusting dish to make on the week of Halloween:
2012 TMNT- Mikey's pizza (Pizza Face episode)
Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race- Icelandic Feast
Etc.
From what I have seen, when they make the candy, they have sugar on the metal sheet and put sugar on the press as well. Helps it lift and cools it down better. Since it's hot the sugar doesn't stay and melts.
When flatening it wait like 30 secs to a min for it to harden a little and then when pressing lightly tap it down so it doesnt stick
Can you make something gross that it's too scary to eat/drink before Halloween?:
Regular Show- Rig Juice
SpongeBob SquarePants- Nasty Patty
etc.
