Old Vinegar Peanuts - 老醋花生米
I tried Vinegar Peanuts (醋花生米/ Lǎo Cù Huāshēng Mĭ) for the first time yesterday. A group of friends and I met up at a local Chinese restaurant, and this is one of the appetizers we ordered... so delicious. Apparently it's easy to make. After scouring the interwebs, I found several recipes: the most basic one is below. I'm going to try it out tomorrow. Hopefully it will taste just as amazing coming out of my kitchen!
Ingredients:
Raw, unsalted peanuts
Vinegar (any type)
Coriander
Sugar
Instructions:
1. Fry the peanuts in oil at a high heat for about 5 minutes, and then set then aside to cool.
2. Put the cooled peanuts in a bowl.
3. Add vinegar (so the peanuts are about half covered), a few dessert spoons of sugar, and chopped coriander.
4. Stir and eat.
