For foodies who want to snack on something anytime during their free time, this time we'd like to share a recipe for spicy fried peanuts.
Ingredients
- 256 grams raw peanuts
- Oil for frying
- 7 dried chili pods (thinly sliced, seeds removed)
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 and a half teaspoons salt
Step-by-step instructions
1. To make it easy to peel the peanuts, soak the peanuts in water overnight.
2. The next morning, rub the peanuts roughly with your hands. This will cause the skins to come off on their own.
3. Put the peanuts into a pot and add enough oil to submerge them. Then stir-fry the peanuts over medium heat. Once done, place the peanuts in a dry bowl and strain out the oil separately.
4. Add half a tablespoon of oil back into the pot, then add the Sichuan peppercorns and thinly sliced chilies, and fry until fragrant. Then add the peanuts. Add salt, sugar, and Sichuan pepper powder, and stir-fry evenly until well mixed.
5. Once done, let the fried peanuts cool completely and transfer them to an airtight container. Now you can enjoy these spicy fried peanuts whenever you like.
