Mudah

Kacang Goreng, which translates to 'fried peanuts', is a beloved Malaysian snack and side dish enjoyed across the country. With its roots in both Malay and Indonesian culinary traditions, Kacang Goreng reflects Malaysia’s multicultural cuisine, often gracing festive tables, pasar malam (night markets), and family gatherings. This dish is popular for its irresistible crunch, subtle spiciness, and aromatic notes from local ingredients like daun pandan (pandan leaves) and bawang putih (garlic). Traditionally, Kacang Goreng is made by shallow-frying raw peanuts with garlic, chili, and sometimes lemongrass, infusing the nuts with layers of flavor. It’s a great vegetarian option for lunch or as a protein-rich snack to accompany nasi lemak, lontong, or simply a cup of teh tarik. Health-conscious home cooks will appreciate this lighter version, which uses minimal oil and includes aromatic herbs for extra taste without sacrificing nutrition. Kacang Goreng is a testament to Malaysia’s knack for transforming humble ingredients into memorable, shareable dishes.

Bahan-bahan(untuk 1 small bowl (about 50g per serving))

1 cup Raw peanuts (Kacang tanah)
2 leaves Fresh pandan leaves (Daun pandan, tied into knots)
3 cloves Garlic (Bawang putih, thinly sliced)
2 pieces Bird's eye chili (Cili padi, sliced) - pilihan
1 bulb Shallot (Bawang merah, thinly sliced)
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Cooking oil (Use canola or sunflower oil for a healthier option)
1 stalk Lemongrass (Serai, lightly bruised) - pilihan
1/4 teaspoon Sugar (Optional, for balance) - pilihan
2 leaves Kaffir lime leaves (Daun limau purut, thinly sliced) - pilihan

Arahan

1
Rinse raw peanuts under running water to remove excess dust and debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
5 minutes
Ensure peanuts are fully dry before frying to enhance crispiness.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large non-stick wok over medium heat. Add pandan leaves and lemongrass to infuse the oil with aroma for 2 minutes.
2 minutes
Do not overheat oil to prevent burning the herbs.
3
Add sliced garlic, shallots, and bird’s eye chili. Sauté until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
3 minutes
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic and shallots.
4
Add the dried peanuts to the wok. Stir-fry continuously on medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes until peanuts are golden brown and aromatic.
12 minutes
Keep stirring to ensure even cooking; reduce heat if peanuts brown too quickly.
