Step 1: Take a proper amount of peanuts, wash them with clear water, put them in a small pot, and then add a proper amount of clear water so that the clear water does not touch peanuts at all. Soak peanuts in clear water for more than 2 hours to make them bigger, then take them out and drain them.
Tip: To make spiced peanuts, you must soak the peanuts first, so that the peanuts will be easy to taste after absorbing enough water.
Step 2: Heat the wok, then add star anise, fragrant leaves, dried peppers, prickly ash and edible salt. Stir-fry spices directly with low heat without refueling. After the spices are fried, add a proper amount of warm water. After the water boils, pour the peanuts with controlled moisture into the wok, and turn the gas stove to medium heat to continue cooking.
Tip: Remember not to add oil when frying spices, just fry them directly. Add warm water instead of cold water after frying the spices. Adding cold water will affect the flavor of spices. You'd better taste the soup before adding peanuts. This soup should be salty. If the soup is too weak, you can add a little salt.
Step 3: Turn off the fire 15 minutes after boiling. Don't take the peanuts out yet. Let the peanuts soak in the pot for about 1 hour, so that the peanuts can fully absorb the flavor of spices, so that the spiced peanuts are ready. Take them out and put them on the plate.
