Put the sugar in a wide heavy vessel.

Add a little of the egg white rubbing it well.

Place it on fire, when it boils, remove all the scum & strain the syrup.

Heat it again & make a syrup of one string consistency.

Fill the plastic packet or a piping bag, pour the egg yolk, then in the syrup, make circular motion to form chain like strings.

Pour it continuously until the all yolk is finished.
