Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Get the red peanuts ready. These are the peanuts I grow at home. My mother-in-law brought them to me when she came to visit

   

2. 2 Put the peppercorns, chili peppers, star anise and salt into the water and bring to a boil. It will become aniseed water

   

3. 3 After the water boils, add peanuts, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cool

   

4. 4 After cooling, peel off the red coat. This is time-consuming and requires patience. The so-called slow work requires careful work. After peeling, put it in a plastic bag and freeze it in the refrigerator for 24 hours, or at least overnight

   

5. 5 Take out the frozen peanuts, put them in a cold pan with cold oil, fry them over a slow fire until they are crispy. If you can’t control the heat, you can use chopsticks to pick them out and taste them

   

6. 6 This is the size of the fire I use,

   

7. 7 It looks like this after frying. The darker ones are bad ones. Pick them out to avoid accidentally eating them when you eat them. They are very bitter..

   

8. 8 Leave oil at the bottom of the pot. Sauté peppercorns, chili peppers, and star anise

   

9. 9 After the Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers and star anise are fragrant, add the peanuts and stir-fry evenly. If you like spicy food, add some Sichuan peppercorn noodles. Be sure to stir-fry the pepper noodles over low heat to prevent the peanuts from being burnt. Turn off the heat and add salt, stir evenly and let cool. Put it in a crisper and store it for two or three days for better taste.
