July and August are the hottest dog days, when fresh peanuts are on the market. Buy some boiled peanuts, which are crisp and delicious. Cooked and refrigerated in the refrigerator, it tastes ice-cold and cool, and it is cool and nutritious.

Peanut is rich in nutrition, which is rich in protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. When it is made into boiled peanuts, it retains the nutrition to the maximum extent. Compared with fried peanuts, it is refreshing and not greasy, so every dog day, I cook a pot at both ends every three days, and chew a few when I am greedy, which is very comfortable.

In the night market, a plate of boiled peanuts is at least 10 yuan, while raw peanuts are only 2~3 yuan 1 kg, which is too uneconomical.

The practice of boiling peanuts in water is simple, just boil them in salt water, but if you want to taste crispy and delicious, you can't boil them. What are the skills for cooking boiled peanuts? I'll talk to you today.

If peanuts are boiled directly, they are not easy to taste. They taste like raw peanuts and taste bad. When the chef's second uncle said that if you want boiled peanuts to be delicious, you can't cook them directly. There are two steps to make peanuts crispy and delicious. Let's learn how to do it with me and make sure it tastes better than the night market.

Boiled peanuts

Prepare fresh peanuts, salt, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, fragrant leaves, green onions and ginger.

method of work

Step 1: There is a lot of sediment on the shell of fresh peanuts, so it must be cleaned with water, otherwise it will taste bad when you eat a mouthful of sand. Put peanuts in clean water, rub them with both hands for 2 minutes, then rub them for 2 minutes after changing the water, and then wash them clean when the water is clear.

Step 2: After the peanuts are washed, do you add water directly? Wrong, there are two steps that have not been done yet. First, pinch the peanuts with a tool to open a small mouth, so that the salt water can enter the peanuts, and the peanuts will taste.

Step 3: Add some water to the pot, add proper amount of salt and light soy sauce, then add onion, ginger and spices, boil over high fire and then turn off the fire 10 minute. Pour the peanuts into the spice water and soak for 2 hours. If there is enough time, it is recommended to soak for 4 hours.

Step 4, after soaking peanuts, put them on the stove and boil them on high fire, and then cook them on low fire for 10 minute. After turning off the fire, you can take it out and eat it directly. The taste is crisp, salty and fragrant, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it is.

If you want to taste more, you can soak it again 1 hour, which makes the boiled peanuts taste better than those sold in the night market.

The chef has something to say.

Every summer, the chef uncle will cook some peanuts with cold beer, which is very pleasant. His secret of cooking peanuts is very simple, only two points. The first one is to "open the mouth" of peanuts, and the second one is to soak them before cooking. After peanuts are opened, the juice can easily enter the inside of peanuts, which is not only more tasty, but also easy to cook after being saturated with water. Cooking time is short, and the taste is naturally crisp.
