Ingrediënten

De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Prepare the peanut sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and water.

   Ongeveer 2 min

2. 2

   Heat the peanut sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

   Ongeveer 3 min

   Tip van de kok: If the sauce is too thick, add a tiny bit more water, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency.

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or Dutch oven to 175°C (350°F).

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature for crispy fries.

4. 4

   Carefully add the frozen french fries to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

   Tip van de kok: Overcrowding the pan will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fries.

5. 5

   Fry the french fries for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

   Ongeveer 7 min

   Tip van de kok: Adjust frying time based on your desired crispiness and the thickness of the fries.

6. 6

   Remove the fried french fries with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

   Ongeveer 1 min

7. 7

   Season the hot fries with a pinch of salt if desired.

8. 8

   To assemble, place the hot fries into serving bowls or paper cones.

   Ongeveer 1 min

9. 9

   Generously drizzle the peanut sauce over the fries, followed by the mayonnaise.

10. 10

    Sprinkle the finely diced yellow onion over the sauces.
