9 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces shelled walnut halves
  • water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • peanut oil, for deep frying (about 2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 lb prawns or 1 lb shrimp, shelled and de-veined
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 1 tablespoon plum wine vinegar or 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    In a saucepan, place walnut halves and enough water to cover plus another inch; boil for 10 minutes then remove and drain walnuts (discard water).
  2. 2
    Place in the saucepan the walnuts, 2 cups water, and 1/2 cup sugar and boil for an additional 10 minutes.
  3. 3
    Remove walnuts from the water, drain well, pat dry with paper towels, then stir with honey in a bowl until they're coated well.
  4. 4
    Deep fry the walnuts in peanut oil at approximately 325 F for 5 to 8 minutes, until golden; set aside, placed on plate or cookie sheet to drain (don't use paper towels because they'll stick).
  5. 5
    Shell and de-vein the prawns or shrimp (leaving the tails intact), then dry well with a paper towel.
  6. 6
    Coat the prawns with the egg white, roll in Panko, and deep fry three or four at a time (to keep from sticking together) in peanut oil for 2 minutes.
  7. 7
    In a bowl, mix the garlic, vinegar, mayonnaise, sweetened condensed milk and sugar, then toss together with the prawns in a hot wok or frying pan and saute for about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until they're well-coated.
  8. 8
    Serve immediately with walnuts over cooked rice.
  9. 9
    Makes 4 to 6 servings.
