Wok Fried Peanut Butter

Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.

Add 1 pound of peanuts to the wok and stir-fry for one minute, keeping them in motion.

Continue to stir-fry the peanuts until they are deep golden-brown, which takes about 15 minutes, to prevent burning.

Remove the peanuts from the oil and transfer them to a sheet pan lined with paper towels to cool for about 10 minutes.

Place one-third of the cooled peanuts into a food processor and pulse until they reach a chunky texture.

Add the remaining peanuts to the food processor along with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 3 tablespoons of honey.

Process until completely smooth, which takes about five minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.

Mix in a little chili oil to taste, adjusting to your preference.
