Steps
-
Add a spoonful of rice vinegar to the wok
-
Add one and a half spoonfuls of sugar
-
Boil over high heat until the sugar melts and bubbles. Add a few drops of dark soy sauce to adjust the color. Boil until it becomes a viscous liquid and turn off the heat.
-
Pour it into a bowl and let it cool completely until it becomes sweet and sour, also known as old vinegar. Successful old vinegar should be sweet and sour, with a viscous texture and bright red color. Generally speaking, the ratio of sugar to vinegar is 3:2. You can adjust the ratio according to your own taste, make it more sour or sweeter.
-
Pour cold oil into the wok and add peanuts immediately. Fry carefully until the skin turns brown, turn off the heat immediately, spread out and let cool. When frying, keep turning the peanuts to ensure even heating and consistent coloring.
-
This is the color of the peanuts just out of the pan. After they are out of the pan, the residual temperature will cause the peanuts to continue to color. If they are not removed from the pan in time, the peanuts will be over-fried, black, bitter, and unusable. Place oil-absorbing paper in the basin to absorb excess oil.
-
Cut green peppers and onions into small cubes and put them in a bowl.
-
Add cooled peanuts
-
Add 6 spoons of vinegar, 3g of salt and 3g of MSG. Stir thoroughly and serve. At first, the old vinegar was very sticky. It’s not easy to cook. Don’t worry about the salt making the onions and green peppers water out. They won’t stick to you after a while.
