Peanuts are usually eaten roasted or prepared as braised peanuts for side dishes. Roasting peanuts is not that difficult. Simply spread peanuts that have been washed once in water evenly in a heated pan and roast them slowly over medium heat. For an even simpler method, you can use an oven or an air fryer to make roasted peanuts. Peanuts are easy to peel after being soaked in lukewarm water. To boil peanuts, place the washed peanuts in a pot, add just enough water to cover them, and boil for about 20 to 30 minutes. By mixing these boiled peanuts with seasoned soy sauce and oligosaccharide syrup, you can make braised peanuts that are perfect as a side dish for rice.

The peanut sauce featured in Baek Jong-won's steamed beef brisket roll recipe can be easily made with just peanut butter. Combine 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, half a cup of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, and half a spoonful of minced garlic in a blender and blend until the peanut sauce is ready. Once made, this peanut sauce can be used for various dishes such as Vietnamese spring rolls and Chinese cold noodles.
