Peanut candy is a familiar treat to many, with its sweet flavor combined with the rich, nutty taste of peanuts, creating an irresistible allure. Join BDATrip to explore some excellent methods for making Ninh Binh peanut candy.
To create delicious and attractive peanut candy, you need the following ingredients:
Step 1: First, roast the peanuts with salt over medium heat until the peanuts are evenly cooked and emit a characteristic aroma. When the peanuts are done, pour them out and let them cool, then rub off the skins. Also, roast the sesame seeds over medium heat until golden and fragrant, then turn off the heat. Next, mix the roasted peanuts and sesame seeds together to prepare for the next steps.
Step 2: Pour 50ml of water and 100g of sugar into a pot, simmer over low heat, and stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved. Continue to cook until the sugar mixture turns a golden brown. When the sugar is ready, add the lemon juice to the pot and shake well. Then add honey and gently stir to blend the mixture. Quickly add the peeled peanuts and sesame seeds, stirring well to ensure the peanuts and sesame seeds are evenly coated with the sugar and honey.
Step 3: Prepare a sheet of parchment paper greased with a thin layer of oil, pour the peanut mixture onto the paper. Use another sheet of parchment paper on top and press down with a pot lid or heavy object to spread the mixture evenly. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, remove the top paper and use a sharp knife to cut the candy into bite-sized pieces. Let the candy cool completely, then store it in an airtight container or wrap it in shiny cellophane for preservation.
To create delicious and attractive peanut candy, you need the following ingredients:
Step 1: Place the peanuts in a pan, stirring continuously until you hear a crackling sound, then turn off the heat. Continue to stir the peanuts for another 2 to 5 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked without burning. When the peanuts have cooled, rub off the skins to remove them. At this step, you can use an air fryer or non-stick pan to roast the peanuts, depending on your preference and available tools.
Step 2: Put the sesame seeds in a pan and roast until fragrant, then turn off the heat and let the sesame seeds cool. Next, prepare a tray and coat it with a thin layer of oil. Sprinkle a layer of roasted sesame seeds on the tray to prepare for pouring the peanut candy later. Note: The tray needs to be prepared before cooking the sugar so that when the sugar is done, you can immediately pour it onto the tray.
Step 3: Pour water and sugar into a pot, stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, then place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil. When the sugar water starts to heat and bubble, add butter and continue to cook over low heat. Cook until the sugar turns a golden brown, then quickly add the peeled peanuts and turn off the heat. Mix the peanuts with the caramelized sugar and pour the mixture onto the prepared tray.
Step 4: Spread the peanuts evenly in the tray and sprinkle a layer of sesame seeds on top. Let the candy cool and harden, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
With these simple steps, you can make traditional, delicious peanut candy to enjoy with your family during Tet. Besides peanut candy, there are many other traditional Tet sweets such as candied orange peel, chewy mango candies, and coconut candies, which are often used as gifts or displayed during this holiday. These foods are not only delicious but also rich in traditional Vietnamese culinary culture.
To create delicious peanut candy, you need the following ingredients:
Step 1: Start by roasting the peanuts with a little salt. Stir the peanuts continuously in the pan until they turn a golden brown and emit a fragrant aroma. When the peanuts are evenly browned, turn off the heat and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, gently rub to remove the peanut skins. Roasting the peanuts with salt not only enhances their flavor but also helps the skins to come off easily.
Step 2: Next, pour 150ml of water into a pot, add ¼ teaspoon of salt and stir until the salt is completely dissolved. Cut the molasses sugar into slices and add it to the pot. Cook this mixture over low heat, stirring continuously. When the sugar water starts to turn a dark yellow, squeeze in half a lemon to add a slight acidity and prevent the sugar from crystallizing. Continue to cook until the sugar reaches the desired thickness. At this point, add the roasted and peeled peanuts, roasted sesame seeds, vanilla, and finely chopped ginger to the pot. Stir all the ingredients together until well blended.
Step 3: Prepare a tray coated with a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking. Pour the peanut candy mixture from the pot onto the tray and spread it evenly to ensure consistent thickness. Let the candy cool and harden, then cut it into bite-sized pieces.
To create delicious peanut candy, you need the following ingredients:
Step 1: First, place the peanuts in a pan and roast over medium heat, stirring continuously until they turn golden and emit a fragrant aroma. When the peanuts are cooked, pour them out to cool, then rub off the skins. Next, in a small pot, add sugar, malt syrup, honey, and water. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture starts to boil. Continue to cook until the mixture becomes thick and sticky.
Step 2: While cooking the sugar syrup, prepare the egg whites. Allow the egg whites to come to room temperature, then use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. When the sugar syrup reaches the desired consistency, slowly pour the hot syrup into the egg whites, continuing to beat with the mixer until the syrup and egg whites are fully combined. Then, add the roasted peanuts to this mixture and mix well to coat the peanuts evenly with the syrup.
Step 3: Spread a piece of parchment paper on your work surface, quickly pour the peanut candy mixture onto the paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top of the candy, then use a rolling pin to flatten the candy into an even layer. Let the candy cool for about 1-2 minutes, then cut it into bite-sized pieces.
When cooking sugar and malt syrup, gently shake the pot instead of using chopsticks to stir, as this helps avoid crystallization. Be careful and patient during this process to ensure the mixture is cooked correctly.
After pouring the peanut candy mixture onto the tray, wait a few minutes for the candy to cool slightly before cutting. Do not let the candy cool completely before cutting, as it will become brittle and difficult to cut into neat pieces. Cutting the candy while it is still slightly warm will be easier and will help create attractive, uniform pieces.
To check if the sugar has reached the right consistency, you can drop a few drops of the sugar mixture into water. If the drops hold their shape and do not dissolve, the sugar is ready.
When roasting peanuts, use low heat to ensure the peanuts cook evenly from the inside out. This helps avoid burning the outer shell while the inside remains uncooked. Properly roasting the peanuts will create crispy and delicious nuts.
After roasting the peanuts, to help the skins come off more easily, you can wrap the peanuts in a piece of newspaper and let them sit for about 20 minutes. Then, rubbing off the skins will be much easier as the skins will naturally come loose, saving time and effort.
With these small tips, you will be able to make delicious, crispy, and attractive peanut candy. Good luck, and enjoy this wonderful treat with your family and friends!
