Vinegar Peanuts

静

Today's recipe is vinegar-flavored peanuts. You can buy raw peanuts in shells or raw peanut kernels without seasoning, which will save you a lot of time. Since the recipe uses a lot of Chinese black rice vinegar (Zhenjiang or Chinkiang), please eat this dish as soon as possible and try not to leave it until the next day. The color of ingredients soaked in black rice vinegar for a long time will become stale. This dish can be served as an appetizer on the table or as a dish to drink.

Notes

I think everyone's stovetop heat varies, so if you use the cooking time marked in the recipe and it doesn't work, let me tell you a little trick. When frying the peanuts, drain them when you see the surface of the peanuts is yellow. The retained heat in the peanuts will make them to continue to cook and darken after removing them from the oil. If you fry the peanuts to a darker color in the oil, the peanuts will become very dark while you perform the other steps.
