Amber Walnut

Amber Walnut

Overview

There was a fruit shop on the way to work. The walnuts sold recently were very good and cheap, so I decided to buy them. Traditional Chinese medicine has called walnuts a longevity fruit since ancient times. It is believed that walnuts can nourish the kidneys and brain, nourish the middle and replenish qi, moisturize the skin and blacken the beard and hair. And walnuts are most suitable for mental workers, especially white-collar women. Winter is suitable for nourishing the kidneys, so you can eat more walnuts, but raw walnuts are still acceptable to fewer people, especially children, who are really disgusted by the bitter skin. Making amber walnuts solves the problem, and the walnuts made in this way do not taste bitter at all. I tried several ways to make this walnut. The first step of cooking is essential because it is the key to removing the astringent taste. It is best not to fry it after cooking. It will taste too greasy. You can bake it in the oven for 10 minutes, microwave it for 4 minutes, or slowly fry it in a wok over low heat until it turns yellow. Use whichever method is more convenient for you.
