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.
