Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about the tips for frying peanuts. Many people always use to pour oil into it first and then add peanuts when they fry peanuts at home. As a result, the fried peanuts are not crispy, but a little greasy, and they are soft after a few days. Today, I invited an experienced old chef to teach you a trick to make your peanuts fragrant and crispy, and even if they are left for half a year, they will not soften!
First of all, let's make it clear that the first step in frying peanuts is not to put oil! Many people think that oil is the key, but in fact, moisture is what we should pay attention to the most. The old chef told me that the secret of stir-frying peanuts is to control the moisture first, and then talk about the oil.
Next, it's time to prepare. We need to prepare some fresh peanuts, preferably the kind that has not been processed. The peanuts you buy are carefully selected to ensure that they do not become moldy or spoiled.
Then, before frying, soak the peanuts in water for about 30 minutes. In this way, the peanut will absorb some of the moisture, which is also to make it easier to cook through during the roasting process later.
After soaking in water, use a kitchen paper towel to dry the peanuts, which is very important! If there is too much moisture, the oil will splash everywhere when stir-frying, which will also affect the taste of the peanuts.
Now it's finally the turn of the oil to be released! Remember, choose an oil that is suitable for high-temperature cooking, such as peanut oil or canola oil. Once the pan is hot, pour in the appropriate amount of oil and wait for the oil to heat up, but do not smoke. Then, quickly add the dried peanuts and fry them slowly over low heat, without rushing to flip, so that each peanut can be heated evenly.
During the frying process, turn it from time to time to ensure that each peanut is evenly colored. After about 10 minutes, when you smell the rich aroma, it's almost ready to cook. Remember to remove the peanuts in time to avoid the peanuts from being fried too old.
Finally, place the fried peanuts in a cool place and cool them completely before bottling. The old chef also told me that when storing it, it must be sealed well so that the crispness of the peanuts can be maintained. It won't be soft for half a year!
To sum up, the trick of frying peanuts is to soak them in water first, then dry frying, and finally collect the oil! The peanuts that come out of this way are absolutely crispy and delicious, so let's try them! I hope you can all stir-fry delicious peanuts and share this crispy beauty with your family and friends!
