Roast and Shell the Peanuts
Place a pan on the stove over medium heat, wait for the pan to heat up, then add the peanuts to roast, adjusting the heat to low and roasting the peanuts for about 8 – 10 minutes until you hear the shells crack. Stir quickly to prevent burning.
Continue roasting for another 3 minutes until the peanut shells turn golden brown, then turn off the heat. At this point, continue stirring evenly in the pan without heat for another 2 – 3 minutes.
Let them cool, then use a colander with large holes to shake off the peanut shells.
Tip: To prevent the peanuts from becoming hard and tough after roasting, wait for the pan to heat up before adding the peanuts to roast!
-
Grind the Peanuts
After shelling the peanuts, place them in a blender and grind until they are very fine.
When the peanuts are finely ground, add 400ml of water and continue blending for another minute until the peanuts blend well with the water to create a thin, creamy mixture.
To remove any residue and peanut debris, strain the peanut mixture through a sieve into a pot.
Tip:
- If your blender has low power, divide the peanuts into 2 – 3 batches to blend, to avoid overheating the machine and burning it out.
- You can strain the peanut mixture through a sieve 1 – 2 more times to make the dessert rich and smooth, without any graininess when enjoying.

Cook the ground peanuts with sugar
Place the filtered ground peanuts in a pot over medium heat for about 2 minutes, then tie 5 pandan leaves into a bundle and add it to the pot, along with 30 grams of rock sugar and a little salt.
Stir well to cook the dessert for 15 – 20 minutes until it thickens a bit; at this point, you can add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter. Then turn off the heat and remove the pandan leaves.
Tip:
- To prevent the dessert from separating and forming sediment at the bottom of the pot, remember to stir continuously and evenly while cooking.
- To reduce the strong aroma of the pandan leaves, you can place them in the refrigerator for 1 – 2 days before cooking.

Prepare the Ingredients
Put the peanuts into a large bowl, pour enough water to cover the peanuts, and soak overnight so that the peanuts soften and cook faster. After the peanuts have softened, remove the outer skin, rinse them thoroughly with cold water, and let them drain.
Wash the glutinous rice, then soak it in water for about 1 – 2 hours to soften, then drain in a basket.

Cooking Peanut Sweet Soup
Take a pot and add 50gr of soaked glutinous rice and 80ml of coconut milk, then cook together. Turn on medium heat and use a spoon to stir well so that the glutinous rice does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
Cook for about 15 – 20 minutes until the rice expands, then add 200gr of sugar. Depending on your family’s taste, you can adjust the amount of sugar accordingly!
Tip: If you find there is too little water, you can add more water so that the sweet soup has a moderate thickness, making it less cloying when eaten!Next, add all the soaked peanuts to cook together, stirring while cooking so that the peanuts absorb the sugar. Cook for another 20 – 30 minutes until the glutinous rice thickens and the peanuts are soft and fragrant, then turn off the heat, and it’s done.

How to choose delicious, fatty peanuts
- Choose peanuts with shiny, bright brown shells, uniformly large size, and a firm feel when held.
- Avoid peanuts with signs of moisture, unusual colors, or shriveled nuts, and those with wrinkled outer shells.
- Do not buy peanuts that have been stored for a long time, as the shells usually won’t be shiny, and they will smell rancid when cooked.
With just one simple step, we have completed the peanut chè that is fragrant and rich. Remember to get into the kitchen to try your hand at making these 2 recipes, good luck!
