Directions

  1. Place the peanuts and sugar in a non-stick pan over moderate heat. Stir until the sugar starts to melt, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Drizzle the oil on the peanuts then add the salt, five-spice powder and chili powder. Stir another 3 to 5 minutes. (The sugar on the peanuts will start to harden and become crunchy.)
  3. Remove the peanuts from the heat and immediately add the green onions. Toss several times and transfer to a cookie sheet to cool.
