- 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.)
- Remove the peanuts from the heat and immediately add the green onions. Toss several times and transfer to a cookie sheet to cool.
