Ok, so, I didn't have any sesame seeds or Chinese five spice powder or honey. I just used brown sugar and butter. WOW! My walnuts turned out absolutely wonderful! I would only caution other chefs to be careful when stir frying the walnuts. It REALLY only takes four or five minutes like the recipe says... I burned my first batch. But I can't wait to try it with all the proper ingredients!
