Steps

1. Use walnut tongs to take out the walnut kernels from raw walnuts, try to get as much as possible It's more complete. If you don't have walnut crackers, you can use a kitchen knife. I've tried it too, haha.

2. If there are large walnut kernels, try to break them into the same size so that they are evenly flavored and roasted.

3. Now prepare the water for soaking the walnuts in the pot. Add four tablespoons of salt, an aniseed, bay leaves and cinnamon. Why do you need to add more salt? Because it is soaked to taste, and the walnut kernels themselves are not tasty, so the amount of salt is more.

4. Then pour half of the pot of water, bring to a boil over high heat, and then change to medium heat for three minutes to bring out the flavor of the spices.

5. Then, turn off the heat and let it cool

6. Then pour in the walnut kernels. The amount of water is just the same as the walnut kernels. It doesn’t matter if there is more water. If there is less water, you have to After a few hours, turn over the walnuts. Soak it overnight. I usually make it at night and bake it the next morning. The taste is just right.

7. Drain the soaked walnut kernels, spread them evenly on the baking sheet, put them in a preheated oven at 150 degrees Celsius, and bake for about 18 minutes. You can set the specific time and temperature yourself. This is just a reference.

8. Coming out of the oven, very salty and crispy.
