Posted: 12/16/2007 6:24:21 AM | Anyone have a recipe for Chinese Fried Walnuts?
(I searched threads and couldn't find it )
My aunt used to make these and they are delicious! and they're great for the holidays, too. I can't find my recipe but basically you blanch the walnuts, deep fry and then roll them in sugar . I just don't remember if I'm missing anything...
Thanks! TYH :) | |

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.
Enjoy !!  | |

Posted: 12/16/2007 7:30:40 PM | found another recipe for candied walnuts which are very similiar but calls for sesame seeds as well!
Ingredients:
4 cups water
2 cups walnut halves or large walnut pieces
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Oil for deep-frying, as needed
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, black or white, toasted or untoasted, optional
perhaps we could get creative and add small pieces of candied fruits and such? | |
