Fried peanuts are indeed a delicious snack, and the process of making them is not complicated. Here's an easy way to make peanuts crispy and delicious:
Raw peanuts: to taste.
Cooking oil: to taste.
Salt: to taste (optional).
Preparation:Soak the raw peanuts in water, then remove and drain.
Pre-fried treatment:Place the drained peanuts on a paper towel or kitchen towel, cover with another layer of paper towels or towel, and press gently so that there is less moisture on the surface of the peanuts.
Hot oil preheating:Pour enough cooking oil into the pan and preheat the oil to about 180°C over medium-low heat (which can be measured with a thermometer) to ensure that the oil temperature is right when the peanuts are fried.
Fried in batches:Add the processed peanuts to the preheated oil in batches. Don't fry too much each time so as not to affect the oil temperature.
Stir and stir-fry:Stir the peanuts with chopsticks or a strainer to make sure they are heated evenly. Fry for about 5-8 minutes until the peanuts are golden brown.
Drain the oil:Remove the fried peanuts and drain them on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
Salt to taste (optional):If you like salty peanuts, you can sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt while hot after frying and stir evenly.
Serve cold:Allow the peanuts to cool naturally so that they will be more crispy.
When frying peanuts, you can use an isolator or a drain to facilitate mixing and draining, and also keep the peanuts evenly heated.
Controlling the oil temperature is crucial, too high can easily make the peanuts charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and too low may cause them to be not crispy enough.
Some seasonings such as five-spice powder, paprika, etc., can be added according to personal taste to add flavor.
Fried peanuts are a simple and delicious snack, I hope you like it!
