DEEP-FRIED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Cook peanuts in preheated oil until fragrant and hot, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper-towel lined plates to drain. Season peanuts with salt.

FRIED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Put at least 1 inch of oil in a deep, fairly narrow saucepan and turn the heat to medium-high. When the oil reaches 300°F (this is on the cool side for frying; be careful not to overheat), add the peanuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are a rich golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the peanuts with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with salt. Strain and save the oil (covered and refrigerated) for another use; it will be great for using in stir-fries. Serve at room temperature.
• Cook the peanuts with 6 unpeeled garlic cloves and 4 small dried red chiles. Drain and season with salt and fresh lime juice to taste.
• Combine 1 teaspoon curry powder (pages 592-593), 1/2 teaspoon superfine sugar, and salt and cayenne to taste. Cook the peanuts as directed and sprinkle on the spice mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Combine 1 teaspoon garam masala (page 594) with salt and cayenne to taste. Cook the peanuts as directed and sprinkle on the spice mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

SEASONED FRIED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a wok or deep saucepan to come halfway up the sides. Heat the oil over medium high to 350°F. (Throw in a grain of uncooked rice; if it pops up and starts sizzling right away, the oil is ready. Or use a thermometer.) Add all the peanuts and fry until they turn golden-brown and become fragrant, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Drain on paper towels, spacing out the nuts so they stay crisp. Sprinkle a teaspoon or so of salt over the nuts while warm.
• Repeat the frying process in the same oil with the lime leaves, lemongrass, and chiles, cooking each separately until fragrant and golden brown (less than a minute), then draining on paper towels. Transfer the peanuts to an airtight container and crush the fried aromatics over the top, tossing to mix. Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
