Brilio.net - Peyek is one of the snacks that is loved by many people. Because of its crunchy texture, peyek is often used as a substitute for crackers when eating heavy meals. Because it is so delicious, sometimes a jar of peyek can be finished in one go.
Just like other snacks, you can also make your own peyek at home. However, before making the peyek dough, the nuts that will be used must be split first. Whole nuts will have difficulty sticking to the dough and the amount of nuts used must be more.
Some people split peanuts manually, cutting them one by one using a knife. Although the shape is good, the process takes longer.
It turns out, there is a quick trick to splitting peanuts for peyek other than using the manual method. This trick was shared by YouTube user Rani Wheelchair. In one of her videos, this netizen shows how to split peanuts quickly. Not using a knife, but using a pestle. Curious about how to do it?
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Rani Wheelchair on Wednesday (25/9), prepare a mortar and a baking sheet. Put the peanuts to be split into a bowl. After that, put 1 ladle of peanuts into the baking sheet.
"Just press the nuts like this using a pestle and mortar," he said.

Do it slowly and thoroughly. Once you feel it is enough, remove the nuts that are still attached one by one using your hands.

Because it has been pressed with a pestle, the nuts are easy to release. Even without a knife, the results of the peanut pieces are still good and not crushed, you know.
"We first squeeze the nuts so that the skin comes off," he explained further.

Once clean, put the peanuts in a suitable plate. Do the same process until all the peanuts are gone.
Now, these split peanuts can be directly mixed with the peyek dough that has been made. Just fry the peyek using hot oil. Remove when cooked.
It turns out that even though it is considered trivial, there are still many people who don't know this trick.
