Many people like fried drunkard peanuts because it is crispier and more flavorful than regular crispy peanuts. As long as you master the know-how, you can easily make drunkard peanuts that are better than those in restaurants.
First of all, prepare some peanuts according to your needs, add boiling water that has not been used for peanuts, and soak the peanuts for 2 hours. One is to better peel the peanuts, and the other is to soak the peanuts, which will be more crispy and not hard after frying. This is the first step of adding more, because ordinary crispy peanuts do not need to be soaked, so many friends also think that making drunkard peanuts can also be fried directly.
After 2 hours, the peanuts were obviously soaked, and the water became cooler at this time, then pour out the water, add some hot water to it, and rub off the peanut skin by hand. Here it must be replaced with hot water and then rubbed, so that the peanut skin will be easier to rub off, the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction. Put the peeled peanuts in a basket to drain the excess water, and if you can't wait, you can use kitchen paper to wipe the moisture on the surface of the peanuts, so that there will be no ice residue when frozen, and it is not easy to splash oil when frying.
Then prepare a plastic bag, pour the peanuts into the plastic bag, drain the air inside, tie the bag up, and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator to freeze overnight. That's Step 2 of Doga. Because peanuts will absorb a lot of water after soaking, but when frozen, the water will be absorbed, and many small pores will form inside the peanuts, so that if they are fried, they will be more crispy.
The next day, pour the frozen peanuts into the pot and pour in the oil that has not covered the peanuts. Pour the peanuts first and then add the oil, so that you can better grasp the amount of oil. Because it is fried cold, be sure to use cooked vegetable oil or other vegetable oil that has no odor. Lettuce oil has an unpleasant odor and is not suitable for frying peanuts in cold oil. Fried peanuts should be fried slowly in a pan with cold oil to make them more crispy. Fry on medium-low heat, soak the peanuts first and then freeze them and then fry them, so that they are not easy to soften when fried, and they will be more crispy and not hard.
When frying, turn it frequently to let the peanuts heat evenly. When the oil in the pan has become boiling, reduce the heat to the lowest level, so that the heat is not too big and the peanuts are scorched on the outside, but the inside is still raw. Fry until the peanuts become slightly yellow, and the peanuts are already crispy. If you are really unsure, take one and taste it after blowing it cool. Remove the fried peanuts from the pan and set aside.
Then stock up on a little dried chili pepper and cut it into small shreds with scissors, this chili is not spicy, mainly for good looks. Then add some water to wash the chili pepper, one is to wash off the dust and impurities on the chili, and the other is to make the chili pepper not easy to paste. Set aside the cleaned peppers.
Then leave a little base oil in the pan, put the shredded peppers in and stir-fry over low heat to bring out the excess water of the peppers. Then pour in the peanuts, add an appropriate amount of salt, a little pepper powder, a little chili powder, a little sugar, stir-fry evenly and then get out of the pot. I have a spicy taste, and if you can't eat spicy, you can change it to five-spice powder or add salt and sugar directly. Some MSG will be added to the supermarket, and you can also add it according to your taste.
Put the fried peanuts on the plate, and a spicy and fragrant drunkard peanut is made. Whether it is a wine or a small snack, it is very good, and it is crispy and not soft. If you can't finish eating, put it in a fresh-keeping bag or sealed can, and it won't soften for a few days.
Tips:
To sum up, don't fry the peanuts directly when making drunkard peanuts, add more soaking peanuts and frozen peanuts, and the peanuts will be fluffy, crispy and not hard, and it is not easy to soften.
