How to fry peanuts to make them fragrant and crispy

To make fried peanuts crispy and delicious, the key is to control the oil temperature, heat, and frying time. During the process of frying peanuts, attention should be paid to selecting plump grains, adding cold oil to the pot, frying slowly over low to medium heat, and promptly draining the oil to cool down.

Choosing peanuts with plump grains and no mold is the basis, as dried or sprouted peanuts can affect the taste. Putting cold oil and peanuts in the pot at the same time can avoid external burning and internal growth. It is recommended to use peanut oil or rapeseed oil, and the amount of oil should completely cover the peanuts. When the medium and small fire is heated to about 50% of the oil temperature, it starts to turn over. When the dense crackling sound is heard, it is turned to low fire. When the sound becomes sparse and the color is slightly yellow, the fire is immediately turned off. The fried peanuts need to be quickly scooped out and spread out to dissipate heat, sprinkled with a small amount of salt or sugar for seasoning, and the remaining temperature will further make them crispy. If the oil temperature is too high, it will cause the outer skin to become black and the interior to become undercooked, so it is necessary to avoid large fires throughout the process. Peanuts have a high oil content and do not require re frying during frying. After cooling, they can be sealed and stored to maintain their brittleness. Some varieties of peanuts have thicker skin and can be soaked, peeled, and fried in advance, but may lose some nutrients. Incomplete cooling of peanuts can generate moisture and cause them to soften. It is recommended to let them cool for half an hour before canning. Peanut is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and protein, but high-temperature frying can damage some of its nutritional components. It is recommended to balance oil intake with cold dishes or Congee, and the daily consumption should be less than 20g. People with weak gastrointestinal function should reduce their consumption, and those with peanut allergies should strictly avoid it. Store in a cool and dry place. After being damp, bake in a 150 ℃ oven for 5 minutes to restore brittleness.
