Chinese Fried Walnuts
Ingredients
- 4 c walnuts (1 lb shelled)
- 6 c water
- 1/2 c sugar
- salad oil
- salt
Instructions
Bring water to boil. Add walnuts, and allow water to return to boil. Cook nuts 1 minute. Remove nuts from boiling water, rinse under hot water, then allow to drain. Put wet nuts in large bowl with sugar; mix until sugar is dissolved. Heat oil to 350. Fry nuts in batches until golden-don't overfry. (frying should take 5 min or less) Drain nuts on paper plates, add salt to taste. Stir nuts frequently during the cooling process so they don't stick to the plate or each other.
