Instructions
- Cover the raw peanuts in water and soak for about 15 minutes. Then drain well.
- Cut the kaffir lime leaves into thin strips or small pieces.
- Heat the oil in a fry pan or wok over medium heat until it reaches 260°F (125°C). We need enough oil to cover the peanuts so the exact amount of oil will depend on the shape and size of your pan.
- Add the peanuts to the pan and fry over medium heat. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid overheating and burning the peanuts. Give them a stir every now and then.
- Fry for about 20 minutes or until you smell a toasty flavor. Check the doneness to see if the nuts are crisp and golden.
- Add the kaffir lime leaves and fry for about 1½ - 2 more minutes. Remove the nuts and leaves from the oil with a slotted spoon. Toss well with salt.
- Once the peanuts have cooled, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay crunchy even after a week.
