Although peanuts are a very simple home-cooked dish, sometimes our fried peanuts feel slightly cooked, and it seems that they are not fully cooked when eaten. But it's easy to fry when it's a little cooked, and sometimes the peanuts fried at home are not as crisp as those eaten in restaurants outside, so what problems should we pay attention to when frying peanuts?
Some people fry peanuts with blisters, while others fry peanuts directly in a pot. Remember these three points when frying peanuts, and the finished peanuts will be more brittle and will not fry.
1. Soak in warm water before frying.
The first is whether peanuts should be soaked in water. Some friends will habitually fry peanuts directly in the pot, but I think it is better to soak peanuts in warm water before frying. Generally, it is necessary to soak peanuts in warm water for 8 to 10 minutes. In addition, when soaking, we can put a little salt in warm water, so that the salt can be fully mixed, so that when soaking, the salt can also enter the peanuts, and the peanuts will taste better after being cooked.
After peanuts are soaked in warm water, they will absorb some water, so that the internal tissues of peanuts will become looser. When frying, there will be no problem that the outside is about to enlarge but the inside is not fully cooked. If peanuts are not soaked, the taste of fried peanuts will become worse because of water loss.
2. Start frying peanuts with cold oil in the cold pot.
In addition, there is another problem in frying peanuts, that is, heating the oil first or cooling it directly. Maybe many friends will choose the method of hot oil when frying peanuts. In fact, this method is wrong. Fried peanuts are different from what we usually do. We can directly cool the oil when frying peanuts.
Because peanuts are wet when they are soaked, hot oil is easy to be splashed in the pot, and peanuts are difficult to heat evenly. In addition, when frying peanuts, you don't need to use too much oil, just a little more than when frying.
Sprinkle a little white vinegar after serving.
In order to make the fried peanuts more crisp, sprinkle a little white vinegar after frying, so that the peanuts will become more crisp, and at the same time, it will also play a role in isolating the air, so that the peanuts will not be affected by water after being placed.
You can also try these three methods when cooking peanuts, so that the fried peanuts will be more brittle and there will be no moisture problem when stored, even if you can't eat them all at once.
