Nailed it. Or should I say burnt it only slightly.

Additional notes

  • scaled down to 1 kg peanuts, since I live in metric land. All ingredients *2/3. Flavor was perfect.
  • nam yu was "WangZhihe" brand (pictured ealier in this thread). Weighed one cube at 21g.
  • fu yu was "Jiangmen" brand, each piece was about half the size of the nam yu. (didn't weigh these)
  • I also added 2 T total of tofu brine.
  • burnt them slightly because I messed up early on, and my oven sucks. Maybe I'll try 5x10minutes at 300 oF next time.
