Simple & authentic! This is one of the popular hot sweet soup to serve for breakfast in local homes. Serve with “youtiao” 油条 (deep fried dough) is a perfect match!...“youtiao” 油条 makes the soup riches in taste, but my mum loves it plain…
It is so simple to prepare, especially if cooked in the slow cooker. I would wake-up by the aroma if cooked overnight. The most enjoyable breakfast time for me is to be able to drink a bowl of hot sweet peanut soup when raining as it keeps me warm.
Ingredients:
150 – 200g Peanut (skin removed)
2 – 2½ liters Water
2 (large) Pandan leaves
¾ - 1 cup Sugar (or to taste)
Salt (trace, optional)
“youtiao” 油条
Methods:
1. Wash the peanut and transfer into slow cooker.
2. Add pandan leaves.
3. Then, pour hot water into slow cooker. Switch to “Auto” mode.
4. Let it cook for 6 – 8 hours in the slow cooker or until peanut is soft.
5. Add sugar. Taste the peanut before sugar is added.
6. Serve it hot with “youtiao” 油条.
Tips:
* Taste the texture of peanut before sugar is added. As once sugar is added, the texture of peanut would be remained.
* Some loves it with trace of salt added to the soup.
Added the youtiao to the sweet peanut soup will it be oily? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWell, it depends on individual taste. I normally use paper kitchen towel lightly "squeezeee" youtiao to absorb oil. This is similar way as to dip it into hot local coffee, hot almond drink...its authentic!
