Roast peanuts with cooking oil
Place a pan on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan, then add 300g of peanuts to the pan, and continuously stir with chopsticks over low heat for 15 – 20 minutes.
Roast until you see the peanut shells turn darker and the peanuts emit a fragrant smell, then turn off the heat and let them cool.
Tip:
- Putting peanuts in the oil when the pan is not hot will make the peanuts crunchier and prevent the hot oil from burning them.
- To prevent the roasted peanuts from losing their shells, you should roast them with cooking oil instead of dry roasting or roasting with salt.
- Add peanuts to the pan when the oil is still cool and roast slowly to let the pan and oil heat up gradually for even cooking.
- Do not use too high heat while cooking, as the inside of the peanuts may not cook while the shells burn.
- After turning off the heat, continue to stir the peanuts for another 2 – 3 minutes.
-
Salt Roasting
You add 1/2 tablespoon of salt to the pan and stir well, roasting on medium heat for 2 minutes before turning off the heat.
-
Completion
You pass the salt through a sieve and sprinkle the salt evenly over the peanuts.
Then you use chopsticks to stir evenly so that the salt adheres evenly around the peanuts.

Final Product
Roasted salted peanuts with a golden hue, extremely crispy, very rich, and fragrant. Additionally, the salty flavor adds a delicious taste. This dish is truly wonderful when enjoyed with a glass of beer.

How to Choose Good Quality Peanuts
- You should choose peanuts with shiny, bright-colored shells, uniform size, and a sturdy feel when held.
- Do not select peanuts that show signs of mold, strange colors, or shriveled peanuts with wrinkled shells.
- Avoid buying peanuts that have been stored for a long time, as their shells usually lack shine and will smell very oily when cooked.
