Peanut oil 花生油 (huā shēng yóu)

DateTuesday, January 11, 2011 Print ArticlePrint Article

Made from peanuts, this cooking oil is sometimes called groundnut oil. It has a slight peanut taste and a high smoking point, which makes it excellent for deep-frying. It should not be used when someone has a peanut food allergy. Canola oil is a good substitute.
