Sugared walnuts
4 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | cups | Walnut halves, raw |
| 1 | tablespoon | Sugar |
| 1 | cup | Peanut oil |
Directions
Blanch walnut halves for 30 seconds; drain. While still slightly damp, dredge nuts in sugar. Spread them out to dry. Heat oil in wok to about 200 degrees, or until a test walnut browns in about 30 seconds. If walnut is too dark, oil is too hot. Deep-fry nuts, ½ cup at a time. Sugar will melt and form a thin, hard outer shell.
Cool and cover until ready to serve.
