Before frying peanuts, wash the peanuts and wash the dust off them. Generally speaking, put peanuts in a big bowl and wash them with clear water for 2 ~ 3 times. Then, put the wet peanuts in a cold iron pot and add cooking oil. The oil must be cold, not heated, then lit and fried with low heat. And from the beginning, the oil cooled and continued to fry.
At the beginning of cooking, peanuts are soaked in water, so after burning for a while, boil the water first. The temperature of the wok 100℃, the water rang, and it felt like "fried bread". When you continue to stir fry, you will find that the shovel feels a little sticky. This is because the water is almost dry and the soaked peanut juice is thickened. Stir-fry for a while, and the feeling of shovel sticking to the pot will gradually disappear. At this time, all the water in the original soaked peanuts dried up, and the temperature of the iron pot began to gradually rise to the boiling temperature of oil, about 300℃.
If you continue to stir fry, you will soon hear the crackling of peanuts. At the same time, the red seed coat of peanuts will pop up from peanuts and fly out of the pot. But not all peanuts will explode, only a dozen or so peanuts will explode, and the rest will not. The bursting of peanuts alone is enough to remind peanuts that they are about to be fried.
Continue to stir fry, and you will gradually smell the fragrance of peanuts. Observe the color of peanuts very carefully at this time. Peanuts began to turn from white to yellow, which is the most critical moment for frying peanuts. The peanuts were fried before they were ripe. They taste only sweet and have no fragrance. If fried properly, peanuts are sweet and fragrant. Fried peanuts have no sweetness, only fragrance, and fried peanuts have only paste flavor. And this process from only sweetness to only paste flavor takes about two minutes. Raw fried peanuts are sweeter than mushy ones, which means that even if they are almost cooked to be only sweet, they are better than cooked peanuts.
Turn off the fire immediately when you feel that the peanuts are ripe. After turning off the fire, continue to stir fry and prepare for the pot. Otherwise, the peanuts above are ripe and the peanuts below are burnt. Pay attention to drain the peanut oil when cooking. You can put the frying pan shovel a little far away from the pan, let the oil flow out and leave the peanuts. Then put the oiled peanuts in a bowl and sprinkle some salt immediately. At this time, you can hang the sprinkled salt on the peanuts and wait until the peanuts are cold. Freshly fried peanuts are not brittle at all. They will become brittle when they are completely cooled.
