Steps
- 01
Shake crumbs from nuts through a sieve; line a board with parchment and prepare a rolling pin.
- 02
Heat rice syrup over medium heat roughly 2 minutes until bubbly; stir for about 2 more minutes.
- 03
Turn off heat when syrup drips in thin threads (about 104°C/220°F if using a thermometer). Avoid contact with hot syrup.
- 04
Immediately stir the roasted nuts into the off-heat syrup to coat evenly.
- 05
Transfer onto parchment, cover with a second sheet and press into a roughly 5×15 cm rectangle with a rolling pin, not bare hands.
- 06
Cool at least 10 minutes until no longer hot, cut into about 10 pieces, and store airtight once fully cooled.
Before you cook
Check labels for tree nuts, peanuts, sesame and cross-contact. Hot rice syrup can stick to skin and cause severe burns; keep bare hands and children away. Cool fully and store airtight without assuming long room-temperature shelf life.
Allergens: Tree nuts / 견과류 / 木の実, Peanuts if included / 땅콩 / 落花生, Check sesame or cross-contact / 참깨 / ごま
