Not everyone knows that peanuts are one of the regular ingredients on the Vietnamese family’s dining table. According to many studies, peanuts contain a high amount of protein, twice as much as eggs and up to 10 times as much as milk. That’s why many people affectionately call peanuts the “seed of longevity”.
In addition to high protein content, peanuts also contain many beneficial amino acids for the body. These are amino acids that the body cannot synthesize on its own and can only be obtained through diet. Moreover, this ingredient is rich in vitamin B, potassium, vitamin E, calcium, zinc, iron, and many other minerals.
With this ingredient, you can prepare many delicious and nutritious dishes such as peanut milk, garlic chili peanuts, salted peanuts, peanut butter, boiled peanuts, peanut cakes, peanut candies, etc. Today, let’s learn a simple and easy-to-make dish using peanuts according to the following simple recipe.
1. Ingredients for sugar-coated peanuts:
– Red peanuts: 300 grams
– White sugar: 60 grams
2. How to make sugar-coated peanuts:
Step 1: Roast the peanuts
– After purchasing the peanuts, remove any damaged or moldy seeds, wash them thoroughly, and drain the water.
– Then put the peanuts in the microwave and roast them for about 5 minutes. Depending on the power of each microwave, you can set different time intervals.
Step 2: Make sugar-coated peanuts
– Place the pan on the stove, add 60 grams of white sugar and 60 grams of filtered water, then turn on the heat. You need to cook until all the sugar in the pan melts.
– When the sugar water is boiling, add the roasted peanuts and stir them evenly, then quickly turn off the heat. Because peanuts are easy to burn, you need to turn off the heat early and continue to use kitchen utensils to stir the peanuts until cooked.
– Stir constantly until the temperature in the pan gradually decreases, and you will have crunchy peanuts coated with a beautiful layer of white sugar.
– Wait for the peanuts to cool, then you can place them on a plate and enjoy them slowly.
After being processed, sugar-coated peanuts will have a crispy and fragrant taste combined with a sweet and mild outer layer. You can eat sugar-coated peanuts as an easy-to-make and prepare snack.
3. Notes when making sugar-coated peanuts:
– When shopping, you should choose peanuts with bright colors and a strong fragrant smell. Avoid dark-colored or black peanuts as they may have been stored for a long time and show signs of spoilage.
– If you don’t eat all the sugar-coated peanuts, you can put the remaining portion in a ziplock bag and seal it tightly. Store the peanuts in a cool and dry place to keep them crunchy and delicious throughout the week. Alternatively, you can dry them completely and put them in plastic bottles or nylon bags. To prevent spoilage or mold, you can put a few dried chili peppers or ground pepper in the bag to extend the shelf life to 8-12 months.
– Although the thin outer shell of peanuts has a slightly bitter taste, they contain substances that promote the function of blood production in bone marrow, increase the quantity and quality of red blood cells.
