When I went to a friend's house last week, he knew that I usually like to eat peanuts, so he specially fried a large plate for me. Although his heart is good, he must rarely watch me cook, because his fried peanuts are not only a little black, but also have a very strong mushy taste, and in the end I only consciously eat a little bit. And peanuts are the food I highly recommend everyone to eat for a long time, because peanuts are rich in linoleic acid, lecithin, vitamin E and other nutrients, among which linoleic acid can lower cholesterol, lecithin can enhance memory, vitamin E has the function of whitening and beauty, so I recommend everyone to eat a little every day, which has a lot of benefits to the body. Although everyone thinks that frying peanuts is very simple, you only need to wash the peanuts and put them in the pot to fry them, and wait for the peanuts to turn slightly yellow.
For example, when I asked my friends and some fans how to fry peanuts, most of them were rinsed and fried directly into the pot, in fact, when fried peanuts in oil, many people made the first step wrong, because the peanuts fried directly in the oil pot are likely to cause the peanuts to taste mushy and black in color, and how to fry the peanuts will be fragrant and crispy! Xiaobian has studied several methods of frying peanuts many years ago, and after repeated practice, I found a particularly simple way to fry peanuts, as long as you add 1 more step, to ensure that you can make peanuts fried more fragrant, crispy and mushy. Next, I will share this method with you!
[Preparation of raw materials]: 500 grams of peanuts, 3ml of high liquor, salt, appropriate amount of sugar.
【How to fry peanuts】:
Step 1: First prepare a basin of cold water, then put the peanuts into the water and soak them for 10 minutes, remove the peanuts after 10 minutes, then rinse them with tap water for 1 time, and finally drain the water in the peanuts completely for later use.
Step 2: Put an extra spoonful of oil in the pot, heat the oil to 4 on high heat, then put the peanuts into the pot and fry over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes until there are fewer bubbles in the oil.
Step 3: Then change the heat to low, continue to fry the peanuts for about 1 minute, when the surface of the peanuts is slightly yellow, when you hear a crackling sound, immediately remove the peanuts, and then control all the oil in the peanuts.
Step 4: Put the fried peanuts into a bowl, then pour the high liquor prepared in advance, and then wait for the peanuts to cool completely, then put a little salt and white sugar into the peanuts and mix well to eat.
[Master Hu has something to say]:
1. When frying peanuts, be sure to soak the peanuts in cold water for 10 minutes in advance, so that the peanuts can absorb a little water in advance. When the absorbent peanuts are put into the oil pan to fry, the high oil temperature will not immediately fry the skin of the peanuts, and at the same time, it can also increase the time for the peanuts to be fried in the oil pan, so that the peanuts will taste more fragrant and crispy. The longer the peanuts are left and the longer they are soaked, the more fragrant and crispy the fried peanuts will be.
2. When fried peanuts, be sure to put a spoonful of high liquor while they are hot, because when the liquor encounters high temperatures, when the alcohol in it volatilizes, it will take away a little water in the peanuts, making the peanuts more crisp to eat.
3. Don't put salt and sugar too early, you must wait for the peanuts to cool down completely, because if you put them too early, the high temperature will cause the salt and sugar to melt, which will cause the peanuts to soften.
[How to preserve peanuts]: If you can't eat enough peanuts, you should not be exposed to the air, and you need to wrap them in plastic wrap to prevent the moisture in the air from entering the peanuts, which will cause the peanuts to soften and damp.
When you make fried peanuts in oil in the future, you must put the peanuts into cold water and soak them for 10 minutes, and then fry them.
