they look soo good! the first time i’ve ever had ginger chews was at my grandmas house, and i’ve been craving them ever since- my dad bought me a pack for menstrual cramps and they work wonders
this was so easy, and turned out great! i added almost a tablespoon of ginger juice and filled the rest up with lemon juice! i also used tapioca flour instead and it seemed to work out just the same.
I tried ginger tea this morning for the first time, and it was good. Im definitely going to try the candy. Learn something new every day❤ thank you for the video
This is exactly the type of the recipe I was looking for! Tried googling but didn’t find what I wanted. I’ve been eating these store bought ginger candies with tapioca flour so I’m going to do this but with the tapioca I just bought!
I love all things ginger. This is a great way to have homemade ginger candy! I thought about using a garlic squeezer to get the juice out. May even chop up bits of ginger and mix them in. How did your beautiful little girl like this candy? To be transparent, I have morning sickness year-round, i.e. getting out of bed. Can't wait to try this recipe. Just what the doctor calls for.
Kids like anything candy 🍭 even ginger candy 😂 Garlic press may work. I don’t have one because they always break 😅Once you squeeze out the ginger juice, the remaining ginger can taste a bit tough. May just add in small fresh pieces. Do watch for your teeth/fillings! 😀
Perfect! I’m trying to learn some new candies to make for Easter this year. I’m going to try this. Thank you for teaching me something new! I make cooking videos too! It’s a pleasure to learn from other talented creators like you! I hope we can learn more from each other! Have a great weekend!
Ginger chews are my favorite. I just started trying one like mango ginger is really good. I'm going to have to make this. Thanks for your wonderful video on how to.
thank you!! i love them so muchh and especially in winter but i always get the store-bought ones and this winter i decided to make it myself, wish me luck haha
Hi Dear, I haven’t tried with tapioca flour. There was another viewer asked the same question in the past. I believe it should work similar since it is a thickening agent.
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 I gave it a try, it turned out good, but not as chewy as I expected. I’ll try it again with a little bit more tapioca or boil it a little longer
@@marcusmello69 hi, I would like to know the final result with you. I had the same question in my mind and thought to check others is they asked the same question. Thanks in advance 🌻
Oh wow!!! Excited to try this! I love the gin gin candy but it's expensive. I'm so glad I can make my own!!! Is there a substitution for glutinous rice? Because I have to be gluten free due to my thyroid problems
@Ash Chan "Glutinous" also means "glue-like." Glutinous rice, like all rice, has no gluten. You're good to go. And this recipe is fabulous, by the way; I've made it twice and damned near ate the whole first batch myself. Enjoy!
I used white sugar instead of the brown because I didn’t want to have the brown color, but my candy did not set up. Did I not boil it long enough? Can I omit the added water? It sure is tasty. I would like to try it again.
Hi Petra, I haven’t tried it with sweeteners. Sorry. I have a feeling that it may not work as well because the sugar was providing the structure of the candy. Not sure if xylitol or erythritol will do the same…
Hi. Tried this using tapioca flour. Added 1 tbsp but when pouring it got stuck with the parchment paper and it was a total mess. It think it was not thick enough. Any adjustments in the amount of tapioca tapioca flour that will make it better?@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423
Hi dear, try coat it with a generous amount of corn starch on both sides. It is a bit sticky to cut. Once cut, coat the pieces with additional corn starch and then shake off the excess. Another possible reason would be the temperature of the candy hasn’t reached the hardening stage. Try boiling it slightly longer on the stove. 🥰 Thank you for your feedback.
Hi Sally, the corn starch will prevent it from sticking. Store bought candies sometimes use rice paper but I haven’t found any at local grocery store. You can also wrap each individually with wax or parchment paper to prevent them from sticking.
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 Thank you! Have tried a couple of other recipes but not too impressed with the results. Also very complicated and time consuming. Will try yours next ... thank you for sharing and for your response!
Hi Cheenee, I haven’t not tried but I think it should work. With glut rice flour, it is chewy but with tapioca it may be more soft and squishy like Turkish delight 😃
Hi Nikolaj, Sorry to hear that. I boil and reduce the liquid until it forms big sugar bubbles and the consistency looks like honey/molasses and then reduce the heat to low before stringing in the flour. The temperature of the syrup should reach around 230F if you have a candy thermometer. Or if you put a tiny drop of the syrup in a small bowl of cold water, it should form a soft lump and holds its shape.
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423you let the syrup hit 230 F and then add in the rice flour or once the syrup hits 230 F you lower the heat on the stove and then add in rice flour?
I feel so bad! This is a great recipe, and you got so many views. But since you used copyrighted music, you couldn't make any money off of it ): Maybe nextime use non copyrighted music (or none at all). Love your channel!
In your video it looks like you're pouring in more than one tablespoon of glutinous rice flour.As noted in your ingrediants Could you please confirm that is is 1 tablespoon of glutinous rice flour Thank you for sharing your recipe
Hi Myaleeza, it is 1 tablespoon glutinous rice flour during the mixing but you want to mix it in slowly and gradually. At the end it was cornstarch for dusting. 🥰
Hello Maya! Thanks for your message. When I checked GinGins’ingredients listed on the package, they used tapioca flour which I didn’t have at the time. I assume the tapioca flour will create a better chewy texture and will be more similar to the Gin Gins original ginger chew brand.
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 thank you for your reply! I used arrowroot… perhaps I can experiment also with a longer simmer time before I add the starch. Anyway, the taste is so good and satisfying to make. Thank you again. Love Maya
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 thanks for the reply. I found out the reason- obviously organic brown sugar does not melt like regular brown sugar. How weird is that?! I’ll try again with regular.
they look soo good! the first time i’ve ever had ginger chews was at my grandmas house, and i’ve been craving them ever since- my dad bought me a pack for menstrual cramps and they work wonders

I like the heat but you get used to it I just tried a mango ginger chew,, it was out of this world. 🎶⚡
I'll absolutely make it!
Tomorrow i will try it. Thanks for sharing
I love ginger chews it’s delicious ❤
Instead of honey I used maple syrup and they came out tasting amazing!
Yeah! Thanks for letting me know : )
Great idea!

Yummy! Thank you💋
Can I replace the rice flour with tapioca power? If so, would that be the same amount as the rice flour?
Hi Dear, I haven’t tried with tapioca flour. There was another viewer asked the same question in the past. I believe it should work similar since it is a thickening agent.
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 thank you very much. I’ll give it a try and if it works, I’ll let you know
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 I gave it a try, it turned out good, but not as chewy as I expected. I’ll try it again with a little bit more tapioca or boil it a little longer
That will be great! Thanks 🙏
@@marcusmello69 hi, I would like to know the final result with you. I had the same question in my mind and thought to check others is they asked the same question. Thanks in advance 🌻
Can I use tapioca flour instead of cornstarch
Yes, you can 🥳
Oh wow!!! Excited to try this! I love the gin gin candy but it's expensive. I'm so glad I can make my own!!! Is there a substitution for glutinous rice? Because I have to be gluten free due to my thyroid problems
Hi Ash! No need to worry : ) Glutinous rice flour is naturally gluten free. Other substitution you can try will be tapioca flour.
Gin gin candy uses only cane sugar, ginger and tapioca starch 😊
@Ash Chan "Glutinous" also means "glue-like." Glutinous rice, like all rice, has no gluten. You're good to go. And this recipe is fabulous, by the way; I've made it twice and damned near ate the whole first batch myself.
Enjoy!
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 any other substitutes for this flour? We have neither.
Tapioca flour works too 🥰
Have you ever used powered sugar to coat the hardened candy instead of corn starch?
Yes, it will make it sweeter. 😀Icing sugar has some corn starch in it as well.
Can i substitute glutinous rice flour with gelatin or agar agar
I am not sure. Have not tried.
can you add the minced ginger into the mix and remove the honey as brown sugar would be sweet enough
For the ginger. Yes, you can just leave it it. I feel the honey makes it a bit softer so may want to leave it in.
I used white sugar instead of the brown because I didn’t want to have the brown color, but my candy did not set up. Did I not boil it long enough? Can I omit the added water? It sure is tasty. I would like to try it again.
Hi dear, try to boil it longer. But don’t omit the water as the sugar will burn fast.
Is there a way of making it sugar free using erythritol or xylitol?
Hi Petra, I haven’t tried it with sweeteners. Sorry. I have a feeling that it may not work as well because the sugar was providing the structure of the candy. Not sure if xylitol or erythritol will do the same…
I like to take the peel off with a spoon. Takes just the peel off, so less waste.
Owwww can I try it?❤
Do I have to go through the process of straining ginger juice from the root or can I just use store bought ginger juice?
Hi Drew, you can probably use the store bought juice if it is concentrated. 🥰
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 Great! Thanks for the response!
Can I substitute the glutinous rice flour for tapioca starch?
Yes 👍🏻 🥰
so how long total are we boiling it? I tried it but mine was very sticky and even after freezing was stuck to parchment paper..
Hi. Is there any alternative for glutinous rice flour?
Tapioca flour works!
Hi. Tried this using tapioca flour. Added 1 tbsp but when pouring it got stuck with the parchment paper and it was a total mess. It think it was not thick enough. Any adjustments in the amount of tapioca tapioca flour that will make it better?@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423
I have tried this 3 times now. every time it get's to stick to handle when removing from parchment. Any tips?
Hi dear, try coat it with a generous amount of corn starch on both sides. It is a bit sticky to cut. Once cut, coat the pieces with additional corn starch and then shake off the excess.
Another possible reason would be the temperature of the candy hasn’t reached the hardening stage. Try boiling it slightly longer on the stove. 🥰 Thank you for your feedback.
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 Thanks for the tips! I am thinking it might be a temperature issue.
Is there any way to make this without added sugar? Like could you just use extra honey instead?
You can probably add less sugar and more honey 🍯. I am not sure if it can hold its shape with just honey.
can rice that had been finely ground and strained work as rice flour?
I think it should be fine although I’ve never tried…
The taste of corn starch ... having a hard time imagining it as delicious. What would be a suitable substitute ... powdered sugar?
Hi Sally, the corn starch will prevent it from sticking. Store bought candies sometimes use rice paper but I haven’t found any at local grocery store. You can also wrap each individually with wax or parchment paper to prevent them from sticking.
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 Thank you! Have tried a couple of other recipes but not too impressed with the results. Also very complicated and time consuming. Will try yours next ... thank you for sharing and for your response!
can I replace the corn starch with more of the rice starch?
I think the texture will be different.
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 thank you. I bought corn starch :) greets from Stockholm
HELP, can't find glutinous rice flour. Can I use wheat flour or DIY flour from sticky rice instead? Otherwise, what other substitutes exist please?
Can arrowroot or cassava flour or cassava starch work?
I would think so but never tried. I love cassava cake!
a garlic press will also work
Can I substitute rice flour for corn starch?
Sorry Chris, I haven’t tried…
Can i use regular flour
Sorry, regular flour will not work. Tapioca flour also works if you can find any.
could you put this in a coated silicone shape?
Hi Tarnia, I haven’t tried but you may want to coat the silicone with a light layer of coconut oil or similar so it won’t stick. 🙂
Can I substitute glut rice flour with tapioca flour?
Hi Cheenee, I haven’t not tried but I think it should work. With glut rice flour, it is chewy but with tapioca it may be more soft and squishy like Turkish delight 😃
thank you for this!!♥️
Anytime! 🥰
Instead of a tablespoon of water could I use lemon juice??
Sorry I am not sure…
Hi, will it work without honey and sugar?
It won’t work without those…
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 arf...^^
Sorry 😢
@@timeforthymeasianyummy6423 No problemo;-)
I want to make this but add orange flavor When or at what point would add orange flavoring ?
Hi there, there is no orange flavoring for this one. If you do want it to be orange flavored ginger candy, try add flavoring at the end.
I don't get glutinous rice flour where I live. What are the alternatives to this?
How about tapioca flour?
can i sbsitute wheat flour ?
Sorry my dear, you can sub with tapioca flour. Wheat flour will not work well.
What can i use instead Of rice powder
Hi Nikolai, you can sub it with tapioca flour and will get a good result 🥰

I got a heart but i want the answer of my question.
I personally love it but I might be biased 😀. They are sweet, chewy and a bit spicy.
I will make mine a bit stronger I like the real ginger taste❤
Yeah, double the ginger juice and boil it down a bit to get the concentrate 😋 yum
How many grams is half a cup you used?
Hi Neal, half cup of brown sugar is 100g.
How much ml is one cup? Here in my country we use ml for seizure

I use my juice press for fast ginger juice xoxo thank you for this recipe, music not needed
Thanks for the tip!
Love you babe
you shouldn’t boil honey
Well I made this and honestly I'm so disappointed!
The chewy part it's actually the sugar getting stuck on your teeth as you chew.
So sorry Nela!
That happens with my store bought ginger chews, too...
Sorry guys… probably bad for 🦷
Time for Thyme Asian Yummy not if you brush your teeth 😁
I mean it’s candy? Just a healthier alternative
