Place in blender 1/4 at a time, with 1/4 of the walnuts.
At high speed, blend into finest particles.
Turn into a large bowl, add orange juice and rind, and knead into a large ball.
Place a spoonful into the center of a dough circle and twist into bun form.
Roll in the hands until smooth.
Heat oil in the wok to 375°F.
Fry the buns 6 to 8 at a time until just golden brown.
Drain well, cool, and sprinkle lightly with confectioner's sugar before serving.
