About Fried anchovies and peanuts

Fried Anchovies and Peanuts is a savory snack popular in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Malay and Indonesian traditions. This dish features small, crispy anchovies, commonly called "ikan bilis," fried to a golden perfection and mixed with roasted or fried peanuts. Often seasoned with a touch of salt or spices, the blend delivers a delightful crunch and umami-packed flavor. Anchovies are a fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and protein, making it a nutrient-rich option. Peanuts contribute healthy fats, vitamin E, and fiber. However, due to the frying process, the snack can be high in sodium and unhealthy fats if not prepared with care. As with most indulgent foods, moderation is key. Fried Anchovies and Peanuts make for an energizing, protein-filled snack or garnish, commonly paired with rice dishes to add texture and bold flavor.
