Main Ingredients- 1 cup raw peanuts
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
If using fresh, raw peanuts, gently toast them over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning. If you’re using pre-roasted peanuts, you can skip this step and proceed to step 2.
Step 2
Once the peanuts are lightly golden and starting to crack open their shells, add a splash of cooking oil and continue to sauté over medium-low heat until they become glossy and fragrant. This process enhances their nutty flavor and gives them an appealing sheen.
Step 3
Finally, sprinkle the salt evenly over the peanuts and toss well to combine. Your delicious Kacang Goreng is now ready! The savory saltiness perfectly complements the natural nuttiness, making them incredibly moreish.
