Drunkard Peanut

Overview

I like to eat the crispiness of Drunken Peanuts, but the peanuts I bought from the supermarket always have a strange smell or are not crispy, so I made my own on a whim. It was the first time I made it, and it was pretty good and very crispy.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Weigh 400 grams of peanuts and put them in a basin and wash them

   

2. 2 Then soak for an hour

   

3. 3 After an hour, peel off the peanut skin and put it on a plate, then put it in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours, or freeze it the night before and fry it the next day (very important, this will make the peanuts crispy)

   

4. 4 Pour an appropriate amount of peanut oil into a cold pot, take the peanuts out of the refrigerator and pour them into the pot. Keep turning, otherwise the peanuts will easily burn

   

5. 5 Fry the peanuts until golden brown and pour them out. Leave some oil in the pot and fry the chili and Sichuan peppercorns. Add the peanuts and salt and stir fry. I forgot to take a picture.

   

6. 6 When it's almost ready, take it out of the pan immediately, otherwise it will be mushy. When the peanuts are cooled down, they will become crispy. They have the spicy taste of chili peppers and the numbing taste of Sichuan peppercorns. When you eat them in your mouth, they will be crispy and numb. It's so delicious!
