Candied Walnuts
These are a Chinese food delicacy of marinated Walnuts, nice and sweet with a hint of salt from the soy which gives it a little colour as well. They are quite a unique flavour and very morish, so if you are dieting …. just don’t go there!
What you need
250g Walnuts
220ml honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Caster sugar
Oil
The process
Combine the honey, lemon juice, and soy sauce together in a bowl and then add the walnuts. Mix them well and allow to marinate for about 2 hours.
Drain the walnuts and discard the remaining sauce.
Cover a plate liberally with caster sugar and coat the walnuts generously by tossing them around.
Put about 3cm of cooking oil in a pot and heat to medium, them with tongs add the coated walnuts and deep fry until just golden.
Remove and drain on paper towel.
Here is a no fuss popcorn version of diddle daddle.
Hi Graham,
I am looking for a recipe that contains nuts and is easy to make and easy to cut and easy to chew so that I can make nutricious lunchbox snacks. Something like a soft peanut brittle? Using higher end nuts though. Even a mixture of seeds and nuts will be great and one can probably add dried fruit in?
Thanks
Hi Celma, you could try this one
