• 0.25 cup water
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 1.5 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon optional green onions, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the candied walnuts: In a small saucepan, combine 0.5 cup of granulated sugar and 0.25 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Add the walnut halves to the syrup and cook for 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the walnuts, then let them cool on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white until foamy. Add the prawns and mix until they are well-coated.

Step 4

Sprinkle 0.5 cup of cornstarch over the prawns and gently toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the prawns in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1.5 tablespoons of honey, and 1.5 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Set aside.

Step 7

Place the fried prawns in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey sauce over the prawns and gently toss to coat them evenly.

Step 8

Transfer the coated prawns to a serving platter. Sprinkle the candied walnuts over the prawns.

Step 9

Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
