Put it in the drain basket, wash it repeatedly while flushing, wash away the dirt and impurities on the surface of the shell, rinse it well, and control the water again.

Press one by one into small slits by hand, so that the boiled peanuts do not need to be soaked and taste directly, and can be eaten after they are cooked.

Pour the processed peanuts into a casserole, add a proper amount of water, you can have the peanuts before, add bay leaves, dried red peppers and star anise, I put some in the same way, don’t need too much, you can add more if you like a stronger taste some.

According to the amount of peanuts, add or subtract the amount of salt as appropriate. I added 2 tablespoons of salt here, without stirring, just cover the pot, boil the water on high heat, and then turn to medium and low heat and cook for ten minutes. You can eat it right after you make it. The peanuts that are open, the soup comes in with a salty taste, no need to wait, no need to soak, suitable for impatients.
Tips:
Peanuts are high-protein foods and contain a large amount of oil. Regardless of whether they are boiled or fried, they should be in an appropriate amount, not too much, so as not to cause indigestion. When there is no time to squeeze out the gaps one by one, you can choose to soak for some time after cooking, and put more soup and salt in an appropriate amount. I often choose to cook it during the lunch break, soak it in the soup all the time, and come back from get off work at night to eat it. It's just as tasty.
