Peanut is a very good appetizer, and many people like to eat peanuts very much. Today, I will share with you a very simple spiced boiled peanut. After making it, it is very tasty and tender and juicy.
Spiced boiled peanuts
Making ingredients: shelled peanuts, cinnamon, pepper, fragrant leaves, star anise, dried peppers, Amomum villosum and edible salt.
Production step
1, First of all, we need to prepare peanuts of about 3 kg. Peanuts should be shelled, and it is best to buy new peanuts that have just come into the market. There is a lot of soil on the surface of new peanuts, so we should make more efforts when cleaning them.
2. Put the prepared new peanuts into a large basin, and then pour a proper amount of water into the basin, so that the amount of water does not exceed peanuts. Let's put the peanuts aside and soak them for a while, so that the soil attached to the peanut surface becomes very loose.
3. After the peanuts were soaked, we began to clean them by hand. Be sure to wash it repeatedly, and rub it hard with your hands at the first 1 pass to make sure that most of the soil can be washed away. In the final cleaning, we add two spoonfuls of edible salt to the water, and then stir it with our hands from bottom to top, so that peanuts and tiny soil left on the surface can be washed down.
4. After washing twice in this way, let's put the peanuts under running water and wash them again to ensure that the peanuts are clean. After the peanuts are cleaned, let's pinch the top of each peanut to open a small mouth, so that the peanuts can be fully flavored and the bad peanuts can be selected. When you encounter bad peanuts, just pick them out and throw them away.
5. Let's prepare the seasoning after we have processed the peanuts. Because peanuts are shelled, even if a small mouth has been squeezed out of their heads, they are still very difficult to taste, so prepare as many seasonings as possible. Prepare a small dish, and put spices such as fragrant leaves, cinnamon, star anise, pepper, dried pepper, Amomum villosum and edible salt in this small dish. We can put these seasonings into a small cloth bag, so that after cooking peanuts, we don't have to pick them out.
6. Let's prepare a big pot, add a proper amount of cold water to the pot, then put the seasoning bag in the cold water and soak the peanuts in the cold water. It's best to soak it for a while, because the longer you soak it, the more delicious it will be. The soaking time is 2~3 hours.
7. After the peanuts are soaked, let's put them in the pot and heat them. At first, boil the soup in the pot with high fire, and then let's turn the fire into low fire. After turning to low heat, cook for 15 minutes and turn off the heat. Don't take it out to eat after turning off the fire. Let's cover the pot first, then put it aside while stewing and cool it to room temperature to enjoy the delicious food.
Tips
1 After the peanuts are all ready, let's not rush to cook them. First, put the peanuts and seasoning bag in water and soak them for two or three hours.
2. After the peanuts are cooked, don't take them out to eat in a hurry. Be sure to cover the lid, simmer for a while, and then take them out to eat when they are cooled to room temperature. This is very tasty and tender and juicy.
