How long to steam peanuts

The most original way to eat peanuts is to steam them in a pot. The steamed peanuts in this way have a fragrant and glutinous taste, and a hint of sweetness. You can also add salt, dried chili peppers, and flower corners to the peanuts. The peanuts made in this way have a strong braised flavor. The cooking time of the peanuts must be controlled well.

When you feel the sugar is almost done, you can use chopsticks to pick up the sugar and put it in cold water to taste it and see if it still sticks to your teeth. If so, keep boiling it for a while until the sugar is cool and crispy and no longer sticks to your teeth before you add the peanuts. After flattening it on a plate, you can pour it out and cut it into pieces. If it cools and hardens, it will be difficult to cut into pieces.
