PEANUT OIL

YOUT
Instead of using butter, the Chinese use peanut oil. Therefore in this book the word "oil" means peanut oil unless otherwise stated.
Peanut oil is made as follows:
(a) Skin the peanuts.
(b) Fry them. Turn frequently until they are yellow.
(c) Place them in a hollowed block of thick wood which has a hole in one end. There are smaller holes through which the oil comes when the peanuts are crushed by a stick of wood in the large hole.
