This morning we didn't go for our morning walk because I went out with my friends for breakfast and later to pay our monthly utility bills in town. We went to a friend's place to collect some Chinese New Year biscuits and had breakfast at a nearby coffee shop.
I ordered the above Mee Jawa while my friends order the kai si hor fun (chicken noodles). This is the best that I have tasted so far. My friends also ordered and packed this Mee Jawa home for their lunch.
After having settled our bills and errands, we stopped to buy some walnuts. I bought 500 gm of walnuts to try this recipe for making candied walnuts. I am sure this will be a healthier snack for Chinese New Year celebration.
First, I have to rinse the walnuts and blanched the walnuts in boiling water and some salt. Then I cooked the walnuts with 2 tbsp of maltose and half cup water over medium-low heat until almost dry. Finally, fried the walnuts in warm oil over medium-low heat for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring continuously with a pair of chopsticks. The walnuts were removed and left to cool before storing in an air-tight container. Next, I want to try the baked version to see which is tastier.
Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see -
how good GOD is. Blessed are you who run to him.
(Psalm 34:8, The Message-MSG)
