Ingredients
1 large egg white
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
Coarse salt
4 3/4 cups pecans (1 1/4 pounds)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Whisk egg white in a large bowl until foamy, about 30 seconds. Whisk in sugars, soy sauce, five-spice powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add pecans, and toss to coat using a rubber spatula.
Transfer pecan mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and spread into a single layer using rubber spatula. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
Transfer sheet to a wire rack, and let stand until cool and hardened, about 30 minutes.
