Chinese walnuts have an amazing taste, as well as an unusual appearance. The main ingredient for such a dessert should be used only in a purified form. But first things first.

So, to make Chinese sweets in caramel, we need:

• walnut kernels (fresh, not bitter) - about 250 g;
• powdered sugar - approximately 25g;
• sunflower or sesame oil - at your discretion;
• sesame seeds - to your liking.

Cooking process

All Chinese sweets are prepared very quickly. First, the walnut kernels are poured with boiling water and kept in this form for about ¼ hour. Then they peel off the skin, after which they again pour hot water over it and throw it into a colander.

Depriving the nuts of the liquid, sprinkle them with powdered sugar and mix well.

This dessert should be cooked on high heat. Pour into a heated pansesame or sunflower oil, and then add a few pinches of sesame seeds. After about 20 seconds, nuts are thrown into the dishes. Deep-fry them until tender, stirring constantly.

Throwing the product back into a colander, shake it well. Next, the nuts are beautifully laid out in bowls and served.

Making delicious Peking pears

Chinese sweets, the recipes of which we are considering, can not only be made as an everyday dessert, but also served at the festive table.

To cook Peking pears yourself, you need to purchase:

• ripe soft pears (take "conference" or "duchesse") - about 4 large pieces;
• peeled walnut - approximately 50 g;
• honey of any kind - about 3 large spoons;
• butter - about 10 g;
• chopped ginger - apply to taste.

Cooking method

Chinese sweets are very popular in our country. This is due to the fact that such delicacies cannot be found in Russian cuisine.

To diversify your everyday or festive table, we recommend baking Peking pears. To do this, the fruits are thoroughly washed and, without peeling, cut in half. At the same time, the core of the pears is carefully removed, making original boats.

The removed pulp is finely chopped. Next, chopped walnuts and chopped ginger are added to it. After that, all the ingredients are flavored with fresh honey and carefullyinterfere.

All halves of pears are carefully stuffed with the resulting mass. Ready-made semi-finished products are laid out on a mold greased with butter, which is then placed in a preheated oven. Bake such a dessert should be ready. It usually doesn't take too long (about 10-12 minutes).

Serve Beijing-style pears for a festive or everyday table in a slightly cooled form. If you do this immediately after cooking, you risk severe burns.

By the way, this dessert should not be consumed with your hands, but with a small spoon.
