It takes about 20 minutes to steam groundnuts.
The length of time it takes to steam a groundnut is related to the size of the groundnut and its variety. If the groundnut is small, it can be steamed in about ten minutes, while if the groundnut is large, it can be steamed in about 20 minutes. So we should not be in a hurry when steaming groundnuts, be patient, and feel steamed, you can use chopsticks to poke, if very easy to poke the chopsticks into the groundnuts inside, and feel particularly soft, then it means that the groundnuts have been steamed.
Steaming groundnut notes:
1. Cold water on the pot of steam
Steaming groundnut is not like steaming steamed buns or some other pasta, steaming groundnut is best directly cold water on the pot of steam. So in the process of water heating, steam can also be directly on the groundnut, which will make the groundnut steaming time can be shortened, and steamed groundnut is also relatively soft and delicious. So you just need to prepare cold water, and then put the steaming rack, put the groundnut on the top of the steaming rack, and directly open the fire to steam.
2. Cutting and steaming
Because of the different growth of the groundnut, some groundnuts are very big. So for the very large head of the groundnut, if the whole to the pot to steam, it is very difficult to steam, and it is likely to appear on the surface has been cooked, the inside is still hard. So it is recommended that you can be a little larger groundnut cut in half or all four, and then put on the shelf into the pot to steam, so that steamed out of the groundnut is very tasty, and especially soft and sticky.
3. First big fire after the small fire
steaming groundnut in the fire is also pay attention to, and not always open the big fire steam on it. Because it has been on the high fire steam, it is possible to steam the water dry, but the inside of the groundnut is not cooked. So first open the big fire steam, the water boil and then open the small fire slowly steam, so that from inside to outside the groundnut completely ripe.
