This is better than my favorite chinese take out!! I didn't want to go through the trouble of boiling and frying the walnuts since it's only a 1/2 cup. Instead, I cooked the walnuts on the stove with some sugar and carmelized them a bit. Then, I took them off the stove then drizzled some honey on it and mixed. Results were fabulous!! NO need to fry the walnuts at all. This meal is a real treat, rich, fattening and delicious!

We used to eat at a Chinese place in Vegas and we'd pay $40 a plate for this, served with white rice and broccolli....this is just as good if not better...we were having withdrawls moving back to Idaho and not have a China Doll here! Wish we had found this recipe before, would have saved some money. This was so good we tried it with cubed chicken and rolled it in cocconut before frying--wonderful! Thanks for posting!

I'm queen of the kitchen now, thanks to you! Perfect measurements of perfect ingredients for a perfect dish. Did I mention that this dish is kind of perfect? Oh good. Didn't want to forget that. Thank you for another addition to my "Encore" cookbook, crazymom!

This was so incredibly yummy. It tastes just like my favorite restaurants, but at a fraction of the cost. I invited my neighbor over to share it with me and she ended up taking the recipe home with her. Will for sure make this again.

i copied japanese delight and sauteed the walnuts in sugar and drizzled honey afterwards. came out perfectly just as she said. this recipe tastes just like the restaurant..even hubby says so.actually my hubby n' i liked it better w/out the lemon or vinegar. w/ out those it tastes exactly like the restaurant we eat at. very authentic. thanks for sharing!

Good stuff - but not having a deep fryer and a really tiny kitchen, I think I'll still have to pay the Chinese Restaurant across the street for the convenience. That being said; however, your recipe is awesome and easy to follow. Tasted just like my good ol chinese restaurant...almost better! And you revealed what I thought was a wonderful secret - yum!

There were GREAT!!! DH and I loved getting this from a chinese restaurant in California and this tasted almost exactly like the real thing! I didn't bother frying the walnuts either - I just sauteed in a little butter with sugar and then drizzled in honey. I did think the mayo taste in the sauce was a tad strong so I ended up adding more condensed milk. Next time I will use equal amounts mayonnaise and condensed milk. I'm so happy to find this recipe!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It was a hit in our home and disappeared in an instant I did not put lemon juice and vinegar too. To shorten the walnut procedure, I just bought ready to eat walnuts from a healthfood store and then brushed it with honey and baked it for a few minutes. I also doubled the sauce recipe.

This was very good! It was just like the dish we used to order from our local Chinese restaurant on a regular basis when we lived in California. We live in Costa Rica now and have not been able to find anything like it so this was a definite treat. The only thing I'll do different next time is double the sauce. Thanks so much!
