Chinese Fried Walnuts

1 pound shelled walnuts
1 cup granulated sugar
vegetable oil for frying
salt to taste

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.
