Kung Fu Peanuts
Overview
I was watching a food show and it talked about the Kung Fu Peanuts made in a restaurant. It was said to be very delicious. After watching it carefully, I found that the cooking method is similar to what we usually do, except that a lot of white rock sugar is added. Moreover, the Kung Fu Peanuts are really labor-intensive, not labor-intensive, but time-consuming. It takes 8 hours to cook. Isn't it really hard work?

Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare seasonings: 150g star anise, 3 peppercorns, 50 cinnamon bark, 2-inch bay leaves, 5 strawberries, 1 grass fruit, 100g Huadiao wine

Wash the peanuts with water. Now is the season for fresh peanuts on the market, so use fresh peanuts. In this way, the cooking time can be shortened, and there is no need to soak for a long time.
-
Put the peanuts into the cooking pot and add all the seasonings
-
Add water to cover the peanuts, press a cage and soak for 2 hours. The soaking at this time is to make the seasoning more delicious.
-
Add Huadiao wine before boiling. I use five years old. If you don’t have it, you can use cooking wine.
-
Bring to a boil, turn to low heat, and simmer for 4 hours. It says it takes 8 hours, but they use dried peanuts soaked in it. Fresh I reduced the time.
-
The cooked peanuts can also be soaked for a few more hours to make them more flavorful, but they have been cooked for a long time and are very delicious. It took such a long time and to be honest, it was worth it! It's really delicious.
