Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, soy sauce, salt, and five-spice powder until well combined. Set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add the walnuts to the pan and fry for about 2-3 minutes until they are lightly toasted.
  • Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the sugar mixture over the walnuts, stirring constantly to coat the walnuts evenly. Be careful as the sugar may caramelize quickly.
  • Continue to cook the walnuts, stirring frequently, for another 5-7 minutes until the sugar has caramelized and the walnuts are golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the walnuts from the pan and spread them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.
  • Once cooled, serve the Chinese Fried Walnuts as a delicious snack or enjoy them as a topping for salads or desserts.
  • Enjoy!
