🍳 Cooking Flow
Rinse the cashews, drain well, spread them out, and bake at 160°C (320°F) for 15 minutes. Take them out to toss, then bake for another 5 minutes until golden. Let them cool completely. → Boil rock sugar and water in a pan over high heat for 5 minutes until thickened. Reduce to medium heat, stir in the miso until dissolved, then turn off the heat. → Add the fully cooled cashews and nori sauce, then turn the heat back to high and stir-fry quickly to coat evenly. → Turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove. Continue stirring off the heat until the syrup cools and crystallizes into a white, frosted coating.

Introduction
A healthy, oil-free way to make candied cashews. The cashews are roasted until golden and crispy, then coated in a savory-sweet glaze made from rock sugar, miso, and nori sauce. The result is dry, crunchy, and multi-layered—perfect as a snack or a homemade gift.
Step 1
【Cleaning Cashews】Rinse raw cashews with clean water and drain thoroughly (no soaking required).
Step 2
【Spread on Tray】Spread the drained cashews in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, avoiding overlap.
Step 3
【First Roast】Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and bake the cashews for 15 minutes.
Step 4
【Mid-way Toss】After 15 minutes, remove the tray and toss the cashews with a spoon to ensure even coloring.
Step 5
【Second Roast & Cool】Return to the oven for another 5 minutes (20 minutes total). After removing, let them reach room temperature until 'completely cooled' so they stay crunchy.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
⚠️ The roasted cashews must be 'completely cooled' before coating in the sugar glaze; otherwise, the heat from the cashews will absorb moisture, making the final texture soft instead of crispy.
💡 Using rock sugar instead of white granulated sugar makes the sweetness milder and more balanced, and gives the finished product a better color.
✨ The miso and nori sauce provide a savory depth that perfectly balances the sweetness of the glaze, adding complex flavor layers.
🔥 During the final glazing step, you must 'remove from heat' and stir. As the temperature drops, the syrup crystallizes into a beautiful white frost. If kept over the heat, the sugar will caramelize and fail to frost.
