I've never been a fan of candied or crystallized ginger. Tastes too gingery. But I had some recently finely chopped and folded into a rich, dark chocolate bon bon, and the combination converted my ginger-hardened heart. I became inspired to candy some ginger when I set out to make my own Pepero for Pepero Day. But then I thought to myself, "Do I really want to be the kind of person who sits at home candying ginger?" I decided not to candy any friggin' ginger.
Then I went to Bangsan Market to pick up some sprinkles for the Pepero and saw swarms of young teenage girls doing the same. My eyes narrowed. Candying of ginger BACK ON.
