Ingredients

makes 1 1/2 cups

　　1 cup dried green or yellow split peas

　　3 cups water

　　4 teaspoons sesame oil

　　4 teaspoons neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or safflower

　　Coarse salt

　　

Step 1

Place split peas in a large bowl; add the water and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let soak at room temperature until softened, 4 to 5 hours.

　　

Step 2

Drain split peas and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add 2 teaspoons of each type of oil. Add half the peas and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn golden brown in spots and become crunchy, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined baking sheet. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Repeat with the remaining oil and peas. Let cool before serving. Peas may be kept for 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
