Instructions

  1. 1

    Roughly chop walnuts and toast in a pan for about 2 minutes.

    Heat rice syrup, sugar, and honey over medium-low until about 118°C.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat, add sesame oil, and stir quickly.

  4. 4

    Add puffed barley, walnuts, and sesame seeds; toss fast to coat evenly.

  5. 5

    Transfer to a parchment-lined tray and press to a 1.5 cm slab with a damp spatula.

    Score before fully cool, then cut into bite-size pieces once set.

Tips

If syrup temperature is low, texture turns chewy; use a thermometer.
Lightly oil the knife with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
