Lim Sung-geun's All-Purpose Soy Sauce Braised Peanuts

A side dish made by briefly blanching raw peanuts to reduce astringency, simmering them in equal parts all-purpose soy sauce and water, then finishing with starch syrup and sesame oil for a glossy sheen.

Ingredients needed 8 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Blanching the peanuts for 2 minutes first helps reduce the astringent and bitter taste of the skins.
  • Using a wide pan instead of a deep pot allows moisture to evaporate quickly, so the braising liquid coats the peanuts evenly.
  • If the saltiness of the all-purpose soy sauce you used differs, taste after the liquid has almost reduced and adjust with soy sauce or salt only at the end.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a nutty side dish that can be kept for a long time.
  • Those who want to use all-purpose soy sauce in braised peanuts.
  • Those who want to follow the original tablespoon measurements instead of standard grams.
