Traditionally, these crispy sweet walnuts are served as a "starter" appetizer to a Chinese banquet dinner to tease the palate before the first entree.
They make wonderful snacks or a perfect cocktail food.
PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F. Bring a pot of water to a full boil. Add walnuts, remove from heat and set aside for 3 minutes. Drain walnuts and pat dry.
While nuts are hot, toss evenly with sugar and salt to coat. Add oil and mix thoroughly. Spread nuts in 1 layer on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Allow the nuts to dry for an hour or until their surface is thoroughly dry. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and serve. Store in an airtight container. They will keep for several weeks.
