💯 Zero-fail Five-Spice Braised Peanuts‼️ Savory and flavorful, super delicious

Rinse the peanuts several times, wash off the dirt and sand, and prepare all kinds of spices.

Crack open all the peanuts so they absorb the flavor better when cooking. If you find it troublesome, you can skip this step.

Put the peanuts into the pot; a frying pan, rice cooker, or electric hot pot can all be used to cook peanuts. Do not use an iron pot, as the peanuts will turn black and look unappealing.

Put the prepared bay leaves, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers, and cinnamon into the pot.

Add water to cover the peanuts; it's okay to add a bit more water. If you add more water, add more salt as well.

First, add 4 small spoons of salt. Later, when the marinade boils, you can taste the flavor and saltiness, and if it is bland, add more salt.

Cover the pot and cook for 30 minutes. I used an electric cooker, which prevents the moisture from easily evaporating. If cooking over an open flame, add a bit more water. Do not remove the cooked peanuts immediately; soaking them in the pot for 2 hours will make them more flavorful. If refrigerated while soaking, the taste will be even better, even better than what is sold outside.
