Equipment

  • food processor
  • pan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of freshly roasted macadamia nuts
  • 1/2 cup of organic granulated cane sugar
  • 2 cups of finely ground organic brown rice flour
  • 6 cups of high-oleic sunflower oil for frying
  • 1 teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt

Instructions

STEP 1 – Prepare the Macadamia Nuts:

  • Take the freshly roasted macadamia nuts and roughly chop them into smaller pieces. Set them aside.

STEP 2 – Combine Dry Ingredients:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the finely ground organic brown rice flour, organic granulated cane sugar, and Himalayan pink salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.

STEP 3 – Heat the Oil:

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the high-oleic sunflower oil over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of around 325-350°F (163-177°C).

STEP 4 – Coat the Macadamia Nuts:

  • Take the chopped macadamia nuts and add them to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Toss the nuts until they are evenly coated with the flour mixture.

STEP 5 – Frying Process:

  • Carefully drop small batches of the coated macadamia nuts into the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

STEP 6 – Drain Excess Oil:

  • Using a slotted spoon or a wire mesh skimmer, remove the fried macadamia nuts from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil.

STEP 7 – Cooling and Setting:

  • Allow the fried macadamia nuts to cool completely. As they cool, the coating will harden, giving them a crispy texture.

STEP 8 – Serve and Store:

  • Once cooled and set, the Macadamia Nut Okoshi is ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a crunchy snack or store them in an airtight container for later consumption.

Notes

– Roast the macadamia nuts over medium heat to ensure that they do not burn.
– Stir the macadamia nuts frequently while they are roasting.
– Cook the rice over low heat until it is soft and fluffy.
– Use your hands to shape the okoshi into small balls or discs.
– Bake the okoshi in a preheated 350°F oven for 15 minutes.
– Let the okoshi cool before serving.
