Ingredients for Fermented Peanuts For 5 people

How to Choose Fresh and Quality Peanuts
- When buying peanuts, you should choose large, round, and plump ones that feel firm when pressed. Because these peanuts will have a richer and tastier flavor when eaten.
- Additionally, you should prioritize buying peanuts with red shells that are bright in color. Because this type of red-shelled peanut will be denser than the white-shelled ones.
- Do not choose peanuts that are hollow, have signs of weevil infestation, are damp or moldy, or have unusual colors, and have sprouted.

How to Prepare Soaked Peanuts

Soak peanuts and peel

Boil peanuts
Place a pot on the stove, add 500ml of water to the pot, boil over medium heat for about 3 minutes until the water boils, then add the peeled peanuts.
Boil on low heat for about 10 minutes until the peanuts are soft, then use the round net to scoop the peanuts out and let drain.
