Title: Sugared Walnuts
Categories: Chinese Dessert
Yield: 4 Servings
2 | c | Walnut halves, raw |
1 | tb | Sugar |
1 | c | Peanut oil |
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, 1/2 cup at a time. Sugar will melt and form a thin, hard outer shell. Cool and cover until ready to serve.
