海蜒花生米 Peanuts with Spicy Anchovy Oil

Pinyin: hǎi yán huā shēng mǐ

Peanuts a simple food, yet add some spicy oil and a dash of dried fish and you've created a rather tasty Chinese appetizer. The spicy oil added most of the flavor and I'd swear they mixed in a fair bit of white pepper that really livened up the first dish on the table. The peanuts were roasted till they were crunchier than normal which I've become a fond of. As with any dish involving lots of peanuts it always goes better with beer and I think that is doubly true for this one since you'll want something to quench that burning sensation tingling your mouth alive.
