Should I use mature vinegar or balsamic vinegar for "pickling peanuts in vinegar"? Many people don’t understand. The hotel chef will teach you how to make it correctly
Peanuts are a must-have dish for drinking. Deep-fried and braised are the most common ways to eat them. However, if you eat too much, you will feel oily. The fried ones are too greasy, and the braised ones don’t have enough flavor. In fact, besides these two ways of eating, there is another way that is more refreshing and appetizing, and can be enjoyed with wine and rice - peanuts soaked in vinegar, which is what we often call old vinegar peanuts.
Old Vinegar Peanut is a traditional Han Chinese dish in Shanxi Province. It belongs to the category of cold dishes. Its main ingredients are peanuts, vinegar, and coriander. It tastes sour and salty. The crispy peanuts are combined with the refreshing sourness to relieve greasiness. Sweet sauce has a unique flavor and is a classic side dish to accompany wine. However, when making it, many people don’t know whether to use old vinegar or balsamic vinegar. Now I will explain to you the commonly used methods in restaurants.
Peanuts soaked in vinegar
1. First, we prepare a plate of peanuts.
Half a green pepper, cut into small pieces, and one red pepper, also cut into small pieces. Green and red peppers are mainly used for color matching.
2. Heat oil in a pot and add cold peanut oil to the pot. During this process, turn on low heat and slowly increase the oil temperature. The peanuts will change a little color and there will be a crackling sound until it reaches 10. When the peanuts are removed, the peanuts will be 7 to 8 mature and can be taken out to control oil. If you taste a peanut, it's still a little raw, but that's it. After it cools down, it will become crispy.
3. Add salt, sugar, balsamic vinegar and light soy sauce to the bowl and stir to dissolve the seasoning.
4. Sprinkle green and red peppercorns on the peanuts, then pour the prepared vinegar sauce and it's done.
1. The peanuts must be put into the pot with cold oil, turn on a low heat, and slowly heat up, otherwise it will cause the outside to burn and the inside to grow.
2. When the peanuts change color slightly and you hear a dozen crackling sounds, they are ready to be taken out of the pot.
