Sugar color, also known as "sauce color", "burnt color", and "caramel", is a natural pigment substance formed by heating, dehydration, and coking of sugars in the absence of amino compounds. Sugar color can be used as a color enhancer for dishes, and is widely used in the coloring of marinated, roasted, snuggled and baked colored dishes. White granulated sugar and rock sugar are the best raw materials for making sugar color, followed by white sugar, and brown sugar cannot be used as a raw material for making sugar color.
The sugar color used in cooking is generally freshly prepared and used by the chef, and there is no finished product. Chefs generally use two methods to make sugar: one is fried with water and the other is fried with oil.
The specific method of frying sugar color in water is to put a little water to boil, put in the sugar to dissolve, with the evaporation of water, large bubbles and small pools begin to appear in the sugar juice, and then a series of reactions of sugar color changes appear. However, in practice, few people use the method of stir-frying to make sugar color. In contrast, the method of frying sugar in oil is relatively simple and easier to master, so it is more commonly adopted.
When the oil is fried in sugar, the pot should be washed, placed on the fire, put a little vegetable oil in the pot first, add sugar after heating, and constantly stir with a hand spoon in one direction to let the sugar completely dissolve. After the sugar is dissolved, the juice first thickens, then gradually thins, and the color changes from light yellow to light red yellow and begins to bubble sporadically. Then the bubbles disappear and the temperature of the syrup continues to rise, followed by a second bubble, which varies in size and lasts a little longer, gradually changing in color to brownish-red.
