Goundnuts

Groundnuts

I still remember that during the Seventies and Eighties,

there are Kacang Men selling kacang (nuts)

with their beca (bicycle) around our housing area or market

or maybe having their stall near a few well known cinemas e.g.

Odean, Pavilion, Cathay, Rex and etc (too bad that these

cinemas has been demolished to make way for new building).

One of the nuts that the Kacang Man selling are this boiled Groundnuts

which is my husband favourite, I think a lot of Malaysian also like it!

Am I right?

4 handfuls of Ground nuts.

Boil a pot of water with 1 tablespoon of salt.

Once the water is boiled, pour in the Groundnuts

and boil until the nuts are cooked or soft.

These Groundnuts very 'Ngan Keng in Cantonese'

(stubborn).....I boiled for 45 minutes.

With colander, drain the water.

While the Groundnuts are still piping hot......peel off the

outer skin and eat it immediately.

(I know my husband can't wait to dig in because

while I was boiling the Goundnuts, I have forgotten to cover the pot and

it was him who cover the pot and told me that by covering

the pot, the Groundnuts will cook faster....

Aiyah! as if I do not know it....I just forgotten mah!..."No worry,

I did not said aloud to him.....only in my head-lah)
