Main Ingredients- 1 cup peeled garlic cloves (approx. 100g)
- 2 cups walnuts (approx. 200g)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Seasoning- 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1.5 Tbsp honey or corn syrup
- 1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1.5 Tbsp honey or corn syrup
- 1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your walnuts and garlic. If using whole garlic cloves, wash them thoroughly and pat them dry. Sliced or minced garlic can also be used. For the walnuts, you can use them whole or lightly break them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
If using whole garlic cloves, cut them into 1-2 pieces with a knife or scissors to make them smaller. This will help the garlic cook faster and absorb the flavors better, making it much more delicious.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over low heat. Slowly stir-fry the prepared garlic. It’s important to cook the garlic over gentle heat to prevent burning, allowing its natural sweetness and aroma to develop. The garlic should start to turn lightly golden.
Step 4
Once the garlic becomes fragrant, add the prepared walnuts and stir-fry them together. Similar to the garlic, cooking the walnuts over low heat prevents them from burning and preserves their nutty flavor. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the garlic and walnuts to meld together.
Step 5
Now, reduce the heat to its lowest setting or turn it off temporarily. Add 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce and quickly stir everything together using the residual heat of the pan. Ensure the soy sauce doesn’t burn by mixing rapidly.
Step 6
Finally, add 1.5 tablespoons of honey (or corn syrup) and stir quickly again to add a glossy sheen. You can adjust the amount of honey to your preference. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds on top to double the nutty flavor. Your delicious Walnut Garlic Stir-Fry is ready! You’ll discover just how delicious the garlic itself is during this process.
