When it comes to making delicious fried peanuts, many people encounter a common problem: easy paste. However, with a few simple tips and steps, this annoyance can be easily solved.
Next, I'm going to share with you some practical ways to help you make fried peanuts that are not only not easy to mush, but also have a crispy and delicious texture. Let's explore the secret together!
Step 1: Pretreatment:
The first step in making delicious fried peanuts that don't stick easily is to soak the peanuts in clean water for about 30 minutes until they absorb the water well. This step helps to soften the outer layer of the peanuts, making them easier to fry.
Subsequently, rinse the peanuts thoroughly with clean water to remove impurities and residues from the surface. This not only improves the hygiene and safety of the peanuts, but also ensures that the fried peanuts taste more pure and refreshing.
Remember to always keep ingredients clean before handling them, and always use clean water for treatment.
Step 2: Hot Oil Temperature Control:
To ensure that fried peanuts are not easy to paste, putting the peanuts in a cold oil pan is a crucial step. Then, slowly increase the oil temperature to medium heat, so that the peanuts can be gradually heated and less mushy.
Through this gentle heating process, the peanuts are evenly heated, leaving them golden and crispy on the outside while still maintaining a crunchy texture on the inside. This treatment preserves the original taste and nutrition of peanuts, and makes it easy to create delicious snacks.
Step 3: Fry in batches:
In order to avoid gelatinization during the frying of peanuts, you can take the method of adding in batches and put the peanuts into the oil pan one by one. This avoids the temperature being too high due to the addition of too many peanuts at one time, and thus maintains the right frying conditions.
At the same time, during the frying process, you can use chopsticks or a leaker to constantly turn the peanuts to make them evenly heated to ensure that each peanut can be fried evenly. Doing so can effectively reduce the problem of mushy and make fried peanuts more delicious and tasty.
Step 4: Frying time:
Usually, it takes about 3-5 minutes to fry peanuts, depending on the size of the peanuts and the temperature of the oil. When the peanuts gradually turn golden brown and give off the aroma at the same time, it means that the frying is complete and the peanuts can be removed.
Remember, constantly observe and adjust the oil temperature during the frying process to ensure that the peanuts are evenly heated and avoid over-frying or gelatinizing.
Remember to be careful with the heat during the frying process. After frying, drain the peanuts and let them cool before eating.
