1, how much peanut rice to choose, this depends on the need, because the peanut rice will become double after cooking, so the big half bowl of peanut rice can be boiled a bowl.
Generally choose a large half bowl.
Then, put the peanut rice, 5~10 star anise, 5~10 small chili peppers, 5~10 fragrant leaves and the appropriate amount of peppercorns into the pot with 3~4 bowls of water. Don't put salt first, in fact, there is no fixed ratio of ingredients and water here. If you have a heavy flavor, put in more ingredients. If you like it softer, add more water and cook for a while longer.
2, if you are in a hurry to eat, you can cook it directly; otherwise, you can soak the peanuts for half an hour before cooking.
3, after boiling, turn down the heat and continue to cook. When the water is half less, then add salt. After adding salt, cook for another ten minutes and you're done.
Warning: salt should not be added at the beginning, otherwise, the peanuts will turn black!
4, after cooking, pour into a bowl, just a bowl, natural cooling.
If you can't finish it in one meal, it's best to eat it with a clean spoon without oil. If you eat it directly, the leftovers will spoil easily even if you put them in the refrigerator.
5, if you like to eat cold, put the peanut rice in the water to rinse, the star anise, peppercorns and other ingredients to pick out, strain and reserve.
Then use celery, carrots cut into cubes, blanch in boiling water, and then mixed with peanut rice, pour sesame oil, add the right amount of salt, mix well on it.
