Ingredients for Caramelized Peanuts Serves 5
Peanuts 500 gr Ginger 30 gr (1 small piece) Cornstarch 3 tablespoons Sugar 200 gr Salt 2 teaspoons
How to choose good, flavorful peanuts
- Choose peanuts with shiny, smooth shells, beautiful light brown color, uniform large size, and feel firm when held.
- Avoid peanuts that show signs of mold, unusual colors, or shriveled kernels with wrinkled shells.
- Do not buy peanuts that have been stored for a long time, as their shells are usually not shiny and they will smell oily when cooked.
How to Prepare Sugar-Coated Peanuts

Roasting Peanuts
First, place a pan on the stove along with 500g of peanuts and 2 teaspoons of salt, and use chopsticks to stir well, while roasting over medium heat for about 3 – 5 minutes.
Once the peanuts are hot, reduce the heat to low and continue roasting for an additional 5 – 7 minutes, until the skins start to peel off and the peanuts release a fragrant aroma, then turn off the stove, use a sieve to remove the salt and place the peanuts on a plate.

Caramelizing peanuts
Using the same pan, add 200g of sugar, 8 tablespoons of water, and 1 piece of ginger that has been peeled, washed, and minced into it, then use a flat spatula to stir well and cook for about 3 – 5 minutes over medium heat.
Once the sugar has dissolved and thickened slightly, add all the roasted peanuts, increase the heat to high, and continue caramelizing for about 5 minutes.
When you notice the syrup has thickened, add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, reduce the heat to low, and continue stirring for about 3 minutes, then turn off the heat. Stir on the stove for another 3 minutes before serving on a plate to enjoy.

Tips for Successfully Making Roasted Peanuts
- To make the roasted peanuts tastier, you should pay attention to choosing peanuts of uniform size and that are not moldy.
- If you want the peanuts to stay crispy for a long time, after roasting, wait for them to cool completely before putting them in a clean food storage container, then add a moisture-absorbing packet and seal it tightly.
- Each time you use them, take out just enough to eat, avoiding letting the peanuts come into too much contact with the air.
