Spiced peanuts are so common that you don't associate them with food. In fact, a bittern peanut, which is carefully selected from ingredients, ingredients and fire, looks ordinary, but tastes delicious. Its mouth is mellow and can make people have endless aftertaste. It's a real delicacy. In addition to the selection of fresh and high-quality raw peanuts, it is necessary to select various spices - salt, pepper, cinnamon, laurel and star anise according to the ratio. You can also experiment with your favorite flavors - garlic, dried peppers and even lemongrass. Before we start, we will share a few tips as usual - 1) soaking peanuts for a few hours or a whole night can greatly shorten the brine time, especially when using air dried raw peanuts. 2) Our marinating time is 45 minutes and 1 hour. We will make peanuts with a bit of chewiness, saltiness and suitability. It's not a very common soft and salty taste. 3) After turning off the fire, the peanuts will be soaked to taste. 4) If you are going to use a pressure cooker, put the brine in time

Cooking Steps
Step1:Prepare the necessary spices.
Step2:Soak the fresh peanuts in water for 30 minutes. Wash the dirt off the peanut shells.
Step3:Wash thoroughly and drain. Repeat if necessary until the water is clear.
Step4:Gently press one end of the peanut with your finger. Let the peanut shell open a small opening (the tip is easier to open). This is for better taste when marinating the peanut.
Step5:Put the peanuts and 1.2L water together in a medium-sized boiler. Let the peanuts completely immersed in the water. Add 1 tbsp sea salt, 1 tbsp pepper, 1 cinnamon stick, 3 bay leaves and 12 star anise pods.
Step6:Turn off the heat when the fire is over. Cover the pot and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Peanuts cooked for such a long time will taste a little bit chewy. We like the taste. But if you prefer the soft taste, you can cook it a little longer. But try it from time to time to avoid overcooking.
Step7:Turn off the heat after cooking. Open the lid. Don't put it out immediately. Let the peanuts stay in the pot and cool to room temperature. This process will make the peanuts taste better. It's better to cool it to normal temperature and then put it in the refrigerator with brine for a night. Eat it cold the next day. It tastes better.
Step8:Take out and drain when you eat. The rest will stay in the brine. Otherwise, it will dry quickly if you take out and don't eat.
Step9:Enjoy the delicacy on the tip of your tongue.
