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.
