First time making matang – and I used a wok (for the caramel sauce as well). You weren’t kidding when you said don’t touch the sauce!!! When I went to stir the goguma into the sauce, it instantly crystallized and I ended up scraping the wooden spatula with steel to get all the hard sugar off it (haha!). :-)
Awesome meal! You’re the best!!!

All look awesome. Especially I love the paper-thin cut cucumber on the plate for tofu dish! : )
Super easy and Superb delicious! Thank you for the recipe!
That’s great! Wonderful! Your comment motivates me to make matang soon! I haven’t made it for a long time.
I just found your website and already super excited to make everything! My mom(korean)is an extremely good cook but an awful teacher, lol. Thank you for your recipes.
I would love to take these to a party for my husbands family, at their house.
Is there anyway to partially cook or prepare these ahead of time so that I can make them fast. I would like them to try it fresh and burn there tongue too;) it’s the best way to eat them hot!
“I would love to take these to a party for my husbands family…” What a great idea! You can make this 5 to 7 hours in advance before serving. Keep it at room temperature.
Dear Maangchi,
This is my 3rd attempt. Sadly, the sauce is still turning out wrong. Could it be that I’m using the Splenda instead of regular sugar? It comes out too watery or in burnt chunks.
I came to the U.S. when I was finished with 1st grade. Therefore, the few things I remember well about Korea are the foods. My girls had just made the Ppopgi and Hotteok during their snow days. (Thank you, by the way, for the recipes.)
yes, you need to use sugar.
I love your channel so much <3 lol you can say that I'm addicted to it . I've tried to make a lot of your recipes but I only succeed in making 볶음밥 and 양념통닭 …. and today I will try 마탕 :) it look so yummy!
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe Maangchi!! I really enjoyed making it! – The only problem was that the sauce started to burn so it wasn’t as sweet, but it was still good! I’ll make it again and next time be sure to watch the sauce! :)
yeah, so you will have to cook the sauce really low heat. “next time be sure to watch the sauce! :)” great!
I guess that’s what I forgot to do :) – Thanks!
i like eating this snack with milk
oh my you created your id as maangchisyummyfood? lol,
thanks for the recipe!
I am eating right know! It is so good! it turned out!
Hi Maangchi! :)
When making the sweet potato fries, do you ever season them with anything or just leave them ‘plain’? I plan on making them as a side dish tomorrow, but my little brother might need some seasoning to try them because he doesn’t like sweet potatoes. My mom wants him to eat his sweet potatoes but he never does! Hoping he’ll like them better as crunchy fries :)
“my little brother might need some seasoning to try them because he doesn’t like sweet potatoes..” oh I see what you mean. Yes, it’s up to you. You can add his favorite seasonings to this. Why not?
I love sweet potato because I used to eat this for substitute to rice. It is healthy and I feel full when I eat sweet potato. I know how to make this recipe it’s simple and very good appetizer or dessert. Is it okay to use vegetable oil or olive oil for more healthy recipe, since I am on a diet??
I would use vegetable oil. Good luck with your Korean cooking!
Hey Maangchi, I just made these for me and my friend Mirei but the sugar coating didn’t harden on the sweet potato, i don’t understand what went wrong,
the fries also came out kind of floppy instead of crunchy, i don’t normally fry things so i’m sure i did something wrong, i’ll try again though and do my best to make them into crunchy perfection.
p.s. i love your recipes and korean food, thank you for showing us hoe to make them. :) Gamsahamnidad!
answers!
“the sugar coating didn’t harden..” cook the coating syrup longer
“the fries also came out kind of floppy instead of crunchy” cook them longer until crunchy
Maybe your stove is not as strong as mine. Everybody’s stove has different heat, so you will need to adjust for that.
Let me know the result if you make this again!
Happy cooking!
maangchi hi,
I like potatoes however your cooking concept using oil and sugar was a great idea thanks…!
