First of all, we will pick out the bad, deflated, and sprouted peanuts, otherwise they will affect the taste of peanuts.
Pick a good peanut and soak it in advance. When it's cold, you can soak it the night before. If it is this hot summer, it is suitable to soak for about 3 hours in advance, because if the weather is hot, if the soaking time is too long, it is easy to deteriorate. The soaked peanuts look particularly plump, which not only shortens the cooking time, but also better absorbs the juice.
Peanuts need to be cooked in a pot under cold water, so that the peanuts are heated evenly during the cooking process, and it is easy to grasp the degree of cooking. At this time, you can put Sichuan pepper, bay leaves and cinnamon, and finally put a small spoon of rice vinegar, which can make the boiled peanuts taste crispier and more fragrant.
The time of boiling peanuts can be prepared according to your taste. Soaking peanuts are generally boiled for five minutes. If you want to eat something harder, you can shorten the cooking time, and if you like something soft, you can extend the time a little bit.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that salt should be put last in the boiled peanuts, and putting salt in advance will easily make the peanuts black.
It is best to soak the boiled peanuts in the soup for about 15-20 minutes, so that the peanuts can better absorb the juice and taste more fragrant.
