Ingredients for Chinese Fried Walnuts recipe
1 pound shelled walnuts
1 cup granulated sugar
vegetable oil for frying
salt to taste
Directions
Place walnuts in a medium stock pot. Cover with water and boil for
2 minutes. Strain, but do not rinse. Transfer to a bowl, and toss with
sugar while still hot until well coated.
Heat 3 inches of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
When oil appears to shimmer, fry 1 nut to test for heat. Nut should
begin to sizzle immediately. Fry 1/3 batch of nuts at a time for 4 to 5
minutes uncovered. Toss nuts before each batch, and repeat. Using
a slotted spoon, transfer each batch to a cookie sheet to cool.
Season to taste with salt, and break apart when cool.
