8 servings
Thai Chili Lime Peanuts with Herbs

Ingredients

Seasoning Mix

  • 10 garlic
  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Lime Juice Powder
  • 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon Powder, optional but recommended for umami
  • 1 tsp chili powder, optional, to taste

Ingredients

  • 15 Makrut Lime Leaves, large
  • 1 Lemongrass, stalk
  • 10 Spicy Dried Chilies, optional, to taste
  • 12 oz Peanuts, preferably skin-on

Cooking Oil

  • 1 cup Neutral Oil

Main Ingredient

  • 6 oz Cashews, preferably skin-on
  • 2 tsp Sugar

Equipment

  • Wok

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1: Thinly slice 10 large cloves garlic into even slices about 1-1.5 mm thick. Spread them out to dry while preparing other ingredients; drier garlic fries better.

  2. 2

    We recommend peeling the makrut lime leaves first, ensuring they are completely dry before folding and tearing.

Ago's Notes

  • Ingredients: Corrected ingredient groupings and minor text adjustments to improve clarity.
  • Steps: Adjusted step descriptions for better coherence.

These Thai Chili Lime Peanuts with Herbs are a perfect blend of spicy, tangy, and herbal flavors. The cooking style is more modern compared to traditional methods but retains the essence of Thai cuisine. They're best enjoyed as a snack or paired with a cold drink for an extra burst of flavor.
