Five-Spice Salt Baked Peanuts

Prepare ingredients: 500g peanuts, 300g salt, 3g star anise, 5g peppercorns, 3g cinnamon, 3g dried chili, bay leaves 3 grams, five spice powder grams.

Steps:

1. Prepare an appropriate amount of peanuts, pick up the shriveled peanuts, rinse them twice with water, put them in a basin, add an appropriate amount of boiling water, and soak them 10 minutes. Soaking the peanuts in advance can make the peanuts expand and absorb the flavor more quickly during the subsequent frying process. At the same time, the peanuts absorb a certain amount of water and prevent them from burning.

2. Prepare 5 grams of dried Sichuan peppercorns, 3 grams of star anise, 3 grams of dried chilies, 3 grams of cinnamon and 3 grams of bay leaves, soak them in water for five minutes in advance, and then drain them. Soaking the spices in water in advance can make the fragrance in the spices easier to release.

3. Drain the peanuts, add 10 grams of salt and 5 grams of five-spice powder, stir evenly, add a certain base flavor to the peanuts in advance, and marinate for 10 minutes.

4. Add 300 grams of edible salt to the pot, then add the prepared spices to the pot, turn on high heat and stir-fry. As the salt is heated, the aroma of the spices will slowly penetrate. into the salt.

5. Stir-fry until the salt is slightly heated, then add the peanuts and continue to stir-fry over high heat. Because there is still a certain amount of moisture on the surface of the peanuts, a layer of edible salt will be stained on the surface after being removed from the pot.

6. Keep frying over high heat for about 3-5 minutes. During this period, use a shovel to turn the peanuts evenly. Fry until the salt on the surface of the peanuts can fall off and the peanuts appear crackling. The peanuts are already sixty-seven minutes cooked. At this time, turn to low heat. If the heat is too strong, it will easily burn. Continue to stir with a shovel.

7. Fry the peanuts until all the salt on the surface falls off and the skin can be easily peeled off by picking up a peanut with your hands. The peanuts are ready. At this time, turn off the heat.
