Put the yellow sand into the pot and fry it until dry and hot, then pour in the sugar water and stir well. As soon as the sugar smoke comes out, put in the pine nuts and keep stir-frying (don't turn the fire too fast).

After stir-frying for five or six minutes, take a few pine nuts and smash them. If the kernels turn yellow, they are cooked. Sieve out the sand and wait until the pine nuts are dry before eating.

Method 3:

Soak and polish the pine nuts in clean water.
