Ingredients
- 2 cups walnuts
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (optional)
- 3 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the walnuts to the skillet and toast for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, combine the granulated sugar, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir well and cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to bubble and the sugar has dissolved completely, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and return the toasted walnuts to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly in the glaze. Continue cooking for about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and clings to the walnuts.
Step 5
Sprinkle the white sesame seeds, and black sesame seeds if using, over the walnuts. Stir to distribute the seeds evenly.
Step 6
Transfer the glazed walnuts to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a large plate in a single layer to cool. Be sure to separate them slightly to prevent clumping as they harden.
Step 7
Once completely cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
