Time 35m

Yield 6 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups shelled raw walnuts
1/4 cup rice flour (not glutinous rice flour)
4 1/2 cups cold water
3 ounces chinese brown sugar (also called brown candy,1 1/2 slabs)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.Meanwhile bring 1 quart of water to boil over high heat.Add the walnuts and boil for i minute.This helps leach out any bitter flavors from the tannins naturally present in the skin.
  • Drain the walnuts very well,discarding water,and allow to air dry about 5 minutes.Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and bake 15-20 minutes or until golden.Remove from the oven and cool.
  • In a food processor ,grind the walnuts with 1/2 cup cold water.Add another 1/2 cup of water and blend until almost smooth.
  • Whisk together the rice flour with 1 cup water until smooth.Add another 2 1/2 cups of water and the walnut puree.Bring to a boil over medium high heat,whisking constantly so no lumps form.
  • Cut the sugar into chunks or crush with a hammer and add to the. soup.Reduce the heat to low and simmer,stirring occasionally ,until all the sugar has dissolved,about 10 minutes.
  • If the soup is very thick you may add an additional 1/2 cup water.
  • Serve hot,1 1/2 cup per person.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I would recommend adding more water or broth to thin it out.

I love the combination of flavors in this soup. The sweetness of the walnuts and the saltiness of the soy sauce complement each other perfectly. It's a really unique and delicious dish.

This Chinese Sweet Walnut Soup is a delicious and comforting dish. The walnuts add a nice nutty flavor and texture, and the soup is perfectly sweet without being too cloying. I served it with a side of steamed rice and it was a hit with my family.
