1. Heat about 2 inches oil to 350ø in a wok. Add the chips 2-3 at a time
and keep them immersed in the oil with a pair of chopsticks or perforated
spoon until puffy. This should take about 10 seconds. Turn and cook for
the same length of time. When finished, set aside.

2. Rub down the wok, return it to a moderate heat and cook the peanuts.
Stir constantly until the peanuts are golden brown - about 5 minutes. Grind
with a grinder or put between a couple of sheets of clean strong paper and
grind with a rolling pin or milk bottle. Toast the sesame seeds in the
same way for only 3 minutes. Grind lightly to a grainy texture.
