Old vinegar peanuts

Overview

Fried peanuts are a common dish that goes with drinks, and my family often makes it. Every time my husband comes home, I will drink a glass of beer with him, take a sip of beer, and pinch a few peanuts. Although it is not a good dish, it is leisurely and quite comfortable. Sometimes I want to change my taste, and occasionally I go out to eat, so I met Laoju Peanut. Vinegar Peanut is a traditional Han Chinese dish in Shanxi Province. It belongs to the cold dish category and its main ingredients are peanuts, vinegar and coriander. A classic side dish that goes with wine and is very popular among the public. It tastes sour and salty, with crispy peanuts and refreshing sweet and sour sauce, giving it a unique flavor. However, no matter what kind of food comes to Shanghai, it always incorporates a bit of Shanghai flavor - it's a bit sweet, but it suits our taste, so I thought about making it myself. The most important step in making vinegar peanuts is to fry the peanuts, then make the juice and mix them, it’s not difficult at all. But there is a problem here. As we all know, fried food is afraid of getting wet, and will become soft and not crispy when it encounters water. In order to solve this problem, I searched a lot of information on the Internet and read a lot of recipes. Finally, I concluded that drizzling white wine will make fried peanuts more crispy. It is said that the temperature of the peanuts is very high just after being fried. When the high-quality liquor is poured in and contacts the peanuts, the moisture on the surface of the peanuts is also taken away, so it will be more crispy.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Remove the bad kernels from the peanuts, clean the floating dust, and blow dry the surface moisture. Heat the oil in a cold pan, fry the peanuts over low heat, stirring the peanuts with a shovel from time to time so that the peanuts are heated evenly.

   

2. 2 Slowly the peanuts will make a "cracking" popping sound. When the sound becomes smaller, the skin of the peanuts should be almost bursting. You can taste that there is no raw smell (the peanuts are soft at this time and will become crispy when they cool down). Use a slotted spoon to take out and drain the oil. Pour in white wine in batches and stir evenly.

   

3. 3 Add a spoonful of oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and salt to the pot, then pour in an appropriate amount of boiling water and cook.

   

4. 4 Cook and stir until most of the water evaporates and the vinegar and sugar turn into a thin syrup. Pour in the fried peanuts and stir evenly.

   

5. 5 Plate and serve.
