We made the most crazily delicious peanut snack ever - the Spicy Mala Peanuts 麻辣花生 - fried peanuts flavored with a mouthwatering mix of spices and fired up with hot chilies and tongue numbing Sichuan pepper. This snack has been all the rage in recent years, rising in popularity along with the Sichuan Spicy Stews that have become ubiquitous. (Psst...check out our Sichuan Spicy Fish Stew 水煮魚 recipe.)
OMgosh but these peanuts are soooo additive! Once you start eating these luscious spice coated, tongue numbing bits of peanut crunchiness you just can't stop! So aromatic! So yummilicious! Now you can enjoy making Spicy Mala Peanuts 麻辣花生 at home for a fraction of the cost of buying them from the store!
