Why are salt-fried peanuts so salty?

First of all, I want to tell you that salt fried peanuts are not salty at all. And there will not be a grain of salt stuck on the peanuts. Salt fried peanuts are too salty because of incorrect operation. Let me repeat the method to avoid incorrect speculation:

①Do not soak peanuts in water

② Keep the surface of the peanuts dry. Keep the pot dry.

③To prevent the salt from getting damp, heat the salt before adding the peanuts.

④After the peanuts are fried, use a dry colander to sift out the salt thoroughly to prevent any residual salt particles.

What to do if salt-fried peanuts are too salty

First of all, salt fried peanuts should not be too salty. Because once salt fried peanuts are too salty, it cannot be changed. Salt fried peanuts are too salty due to incorrect operation methods. How can we avoid it?

1. Salt selection

When frying peanuts with salt, you should use finely ground refined salt. This is the kind you can buy at any supermarket for 1.5 yuan a bag. If there are lumps in the salt bag, it means the salt is damp (do not use damp salt)

2. Choice of peanuts

Choose peanuts with full and uniform grains and bright skin. Peanuts with dry and dull skin are usually stale.

3. Prevent peanuts from getting wet

Some friends have been influenced by some incorrect teachings. Before frying peanuts with salt, they boil or soak the peanuts in water. This wrong practice is the direct cause of the peanuts being too salty.

4. Keep the wok clean and dry

Before frying, put the wok on the fire to dry it. There must be no moisture or residual grease. Otherwise, the refined salt will become sticky and condense into lumps.

5. Stir-fry in steps

Before frying the peanuts, you should first fry the refined salt on the fire until it is loose and dripping. That is, first fry the water vapor in the refined salt and then add the peanuts to fry.

How to make salt fried peanuts

Prepare ingredients: 1.5 bags of refined salt, 350 grams of peanuts

1. Stir-fry salt

First, dry the pot over the fire. Then add the refined salt and stir-fry over the fire until it is smooth and hot (when the refined salt is dry, it will feel like it is stuck in the pot when you stir-fry it. This is because refined salt contains a small amount of water)

2: Formal cooking

When the refined salt is stir-fried in the pan and becomes smooth, add the peanuts and stir-fry over medium-low heat. Use a hand spoon to mix the peanuts and salt evenly to prevent the peanuts from being heated unevenly. When the peanuts are fried until there is a crackling sound and they change color slightly, you can use a colander to sift out the salt.

Production points:

① Keep the frying pan and the peanut skin dry. Prevent water from forming on the pan wall and causing the salt to melt and stick.

② First, stir-fry the salt until it is hot and loose. Stir-fry until it is smooth and not sticky. Then add the peanuts.

③ The whole process should be done on medium to low heat. Stir evenly with a hand spoon during the frying process to prevent uneven heating.

④ Remove the peanuts from the pan when they are 80% cooked. Otherwise, the peanuts will be overcooked and have a burnt smell.

⑤ After the peanuts are fried, separate the salt and peanuts in a colander. Otherwise, there will be salt particles at the bottom of the plate, affecting the appearance and taste.
