Prepare a baking sheet lined with edible rice paper.

Combine sugar and glucose syrup in a saucepan over medium heat.

Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches 140°C (284°F).

In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Gradually pour the hot sugar mixture into the whipped egg whites while continuously mixing.

Add honey and mix until well combined and glossy.

Fold in the nuts gently until evenly distributed.

Pour the nougat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.

Spread evenly and smooth the top with a spatula.

Let it cool at room temperature until set, about 4-6 hours.

Once set, cut into pieces and wrap in edible rice paper.
