Put a little more oil in the pot. Start the oil over medium heat. Do not burn it too hot. Put in crushed rock sugar, white sugar or marshmallow, whichever you want. The sugar doesn't matter, but it can't be a whole piece first, it should be broken up a little; then stir it gently. If you are a beginner, please use a simmer. After the sugar has melted, the oil surface will start to bubble. That's it, put the food to be colored into the pot immediately, and the whole sugar coloring process is completed.
