Main Ingredients- Raw peanuts, 1 paper cup full (approx. 150g)
For Frying- Cooking oil, 2 tablespoons
- Cooking oil, 2 tablespoons
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the star of our delicious dish: raw peanuts. Measure out approximately one paper cup full, which is about 150g. This will be the perfect amount for our recipe.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a non-stick pan over very low heat. It’s crucial not to let the oil get too hot; aim for a gentle warmth to start.
Step 3
Add all the prepared raw peanuts to the warmed pan. Stir continuously to prevent them from burning. **Important Tip:** Peanuts can burn very quickly, so it’s essential to maintain a **low heat** throughout the process. Keep stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula to ensure they cook evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
Step 4
Once the peanuts begin to turn a light golden brown and release a fragrant, nutty aroma, after about 3 minutes of toasting, add 1 tablespoon of flaky salt. This step will season the peanuts and enhance their flavor.
Step 5
Continue to stir and toast the peanuts with the salt for another minute, ensuring the salt is evenly distributed. Now it’s time to add the sweetness. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the peanuts in the pan.
Step 6
Stir constantly over low heat for about 1 more minute, allowing the sugar to melt and coat the peanuts, creating a lovely glaze. Watch carefully to ensure the sugar doesn’t burn. They’re ready once they look glossy and well-coated.
Step 7
Congratulations! Your incredibly flavorful sweet and salty Chinese-style fried peanuts are ready. They are exceptionally delicious when enjoyed warm, so don’t wait too long to taste them! These can be enjoyed as a delightful snack on their own or served as a fantastic side dish with your meals. Enjoy these homemade, healthy, and utterly delicious fried peanuts!
