Ginger Turns Into Candy #shorts

Brief Summary

This video showcases the traditional method of making ginger candy and soup in a rural village. It begins with a village girl harvesting and preparing fresh ginger, extracting its starch, and then using it to create both sweet ginger candies and a healthy ginger soup. The process involves grinding, extracting, mixing, and boiling the ingredients to achieve the final products.

• Fresh ginger is harvested and processed by hand.
• Ginger starch is extracted and used to make candies.
• Boiled ginger water is used to make a healthy soup.

Ginger Preparation

The video starts with a village girl collecting fresh ginger and washing it thoroughly in clean water. She then grinds the ginger by hand into a smooth paste, ensuring a fine consistency. This paste is then squeezed through a cloth to extract the ginger juice, separating the solids from the liquid.

Starch Extraction

The extracted ginger juice is left overnight to allow the ginger starch to settle at the bottom. By morning, the clear ginger starch is visible. The extra water is carefully removed, and the starch is dried for future use. This dried starch is a key ingredient for making ginger candies.

Candy Making

To make the ginger candies, a small amount of the dried ginger starch is mixed with water. Crystal sugar, sticky malt candy, and leftover ginger juice are added to the mixture. The combination is then boiled until it thickens into a pliable consistency.

Candy Shaping and Finishing

While the mixture is still warm, it is rolled into tiny balls. The girl coats her hands with ginger powder to prevent sticking and to shape the candies effectively. The final product is sweet and tangy ginger candies, ready to be enjoyed.

Ginger Soup Preparation

In addition to making candies, the boiled ginger water is used to prepare a warm and healthy soup. This demonstrates a resourceful use of the ginger, ensuring that no part of the ingredient goes to waste. The soup is presented as a nourishing and beneficial beverage.
