peanut oil

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'frying liquid reverberating' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'sound around fan i say' is the wordplay.
'sound' becomes 'peal' (pealing is a kind of sounding).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'fan' becomes 'nut' (both can mean an enthusiast).
'i say' becomes 'oi' (both are expressions of shock or outrage).
'nut'+'oi'='nutoi'
'peal' placed around 'nutoi' is 'PEANUT OIL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for peanut oil that I've seen is " substance inside soap?".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
