Crisp Sugared Walnuts Recipe
2 cups of Walnuts
1/4 tsp. Salt
4 cups of Water
1 tbsp. corn or peanut oil
6 tbsps. Sugar
These sugary walnuts are traditionally served as “starters” prior to a Chinese banquet dinner just to tease the palate prior to the 1st entree. This dish makes for a great cocktail food or as a snack.
Oven should be preheated to around 325′ F. Bring to a boil a big pot of water. Next, add in walnuts then take the pot out of the heat then set it aside for about 3 mins.
Drain the walnuts well & pat them down to dry. When the nuts are still hot, mix them together with the salt and sugar then make sure that nuts are evenly coated with the 2. Next, add in oil then mix them again.
Get a baking sheet and line it all over with foil then evenly spread a layer of the nuts on the sheet. Let the nuts dry out for 1 hr or just until the surface of the nut is thoroughly dried out.
Bake them in the oven and stir them occasionally for about 8-10 mins or just until they turn golden brown. Take them out of the oven and let cool before serving. They also can keep well inside airtight containers for a couple of weeks.
