Peanut rayu

This is hands-down the best condiment you can make – spicy, savoury, crunchy and very more-ish. Drizzle it on everything, especially if it’s cheese.

  • 200g unsalted roasted peanuts (or roast them – 2 mins in the air fryer or 10 mins in a 200C oven)
  • 8 cloves garlic, finely sliced
  • 300ml neutral oil
  • 2 tbsp Korean chilli flakes (gochugaru)
  • 1 tbsp chilli powder
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  1. Put the oil into a small saucepan and add the garlic. Heat gently until it’s golden brown
  2. Remove the garlic to a bowl and add the peanuts. Mix and wait for them to cool
  3. In another bowl, mix together the chilli flakes, chilli powder, salt, sugar and sesame seeds
  4. Pour over the hot garlic-flavoured oil and mix through
  5. Chop/lightly crush the peanuts and crispy garlic
  6. Add the crispy bits to the chilli oil, then add sesame oil and soy sauce
  7. Store in a jar in the fridge
