Since I last shared the salted egg version, many of you have asked for new flavors. This umami version is sour-salty, spicy with a slightly sweet undertone. Adding kaffir lime leaves gives it an extra boost. Let’s try out these flaming nuts!
Ingredients
- 1kg cashew nuts
- 200g cornflakes
- 100g egg whites
- 80g tomyam powder
- 250g sugar
- 20g mushroom powder
- 20g chili powder
- 30g kaffir lime leaves
Method
- Pre-bake nuts at 140°C fan mode for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Mix egg whites, tomyam powder, sugar, mushroom powder, and chili powder into a paste.
- Add the cashew nuts and cornflakes, and mix well.
- Spread the mixture evenly on a baking tray. Cut the kaffir lime leaves into smaller pieces and mix them into the nuts.
- Bake at 140°C fan mode for 40 minutes or until crunchy, stirring occasionally.
