Ingredients for boiled peanuts

When making boiled peanuts at home, you need to prepare one kilogram of fresh peanuts, an appropriate amount of salt, and appropriate amounts of seasonings such as cinnamon, star anise, and peppercorns. Friends who like spicy food can also prepare a few dried chilies.

Steps for making boiled peanuts

1. Wash the prepared fresh peanuts with clean water. Be sure to wash them several times to clean all the mud and sand on the surface of the peanuts, and then drain the water.

2. Use your hands to open and pinch the peanuts to make a small crack on the top, so that it is easier to absorb the flavor when cooking. If you are afraid of trouble, you can also press the peanuts with a heavy object, which can also make a small crack in the peanut shell.

3. Put the processed peanuts in the pot, add the prepared cinnamon, pepper and star anise, add appropriate amount of table salt, and then add clean water. The amount of clean water should be twice the amount of peanuts. Mix all the ingredients evenly and turn on the fire to cook.

4. After the pot boils, turn the heat to medium and continue to cook for half an hour to forty minutes, then turn off the heat. Do not open the lid after turning off the heat, and let the peanuts simmer in the pot for about half an hour, so that the boiled peanuts can be more flavorful. When the boiled peanuts are cooked, you can eat them as you go. If you can't finish them, leave them in the water to soak. The longer they soak, the stronger their flavor will be.
