Adobong Mani (Fried Peanuts)
I made fried peanuts, the traditional Filipino way—with salt and lots of fried garlic for extra flavor and crunch. They are very addictive and are super easy to make.
Equipment
Wok or Skillet
Skimmer, Slotted Spoon, or Strainer
Baking Sheet (optional)
Ingredients
8 ounces raw, shelled peanuts, about 2 cups
1 cup neutral-flavored oil
8 cloves garlic thinly sliced
Salt, to taste
Instructions
1. Rinse the raw peanuts under running water to remove excess dirt. Let them air-dry for about 10 minutes on a rimmed baking sheet or large tray.
2. In a wok, submerge the peanuts in cold neutral-flavored oil and set it to medium-low heat. Stir them constantly to prevent them from burning.
3. When the oil starts bubbling, add the garlic. The garlic should brown in 3 to 5 minutes; the peanuts will be ready at that point.
Peanuts cook differently depending on their size and oil temperature. When you start them in cold oil, they take between 6 and 10 minutes to cook.
4. Once the peanuts and garlic turn lightly brown, turn off the heat. The residual heat will cook them further. It's okay to undercook them a bit, but overcooking will make them bitter.
5. Remove peanuts and garlic from the oil and spread them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
6. Sprinkle the peanuts with salt while still warm. They will become crunchy as they cool.
