"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Chinese Fried Pecans

 

Ingredients

4 cup pecan halves
6 cup water, boiling (or more)
1 cup sugar
2 cup oil



 

Preparation

NOTE: This dish must be started a full 24 hours before you plan to
serve it.

Put pecans in a large pot or heat-proof bowl. Cover with boiling
water and let them soak 3 minutes. Drain the pecans and spread them
in a single layer on a large platter or non-rusting cookie sheet.
Cover with sugar and stir until pecans are completely coated with the
sugar. (The sugar will dissolve slightly.) You might have to add
water if the nuts are too dry for the sugar to stick.

Transfer the sugared nuts to a dry platter and set them aside to
air-dry overnight. They really need to dry for 24 hours.

When ready to serve the pecans, bring the oil almost to the smoking
point in a wok or large pot. Fry one quarter of them at a time,
being careful not to let them burn. The sugar will melt. Carefully
remove the cooked nuts from the hot oil with a strainer and put them
on a heatproof glass platter. Fry each quarter of the nuts
individually so all of them will get hot enough for the sugar to
melt. Serve immediately.
