No, it’s not a plate of muah chee though it really looks like it, lol. I’ve made peanut chicken nuggets for movie snack this time.
I always have coarsely ground roasted peanuts in my pantry as it’s an ingredient that I use pretty often when I make muah chee and glutinous rice dumplings. Sometimes, I’ll also sprinkle the peanuts over salads or any other dish that may need some crunch.
For this recipe, it’s better to get unsalted peanuts so you can adjust the amount of salt to your preference.
Makes a delicious nibble that I’m sure the whole family will enjoy. Give it a try!
