Spiced boiled peanuts, a beloved snack in many cultures, are easy to make at home with this simple recipe. Start by selecting fresh, raw peanuts—preferably unroasted and in their shells for maximum flavor. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove dirt.
For the spice blend, you’ll need 1 tablespoon of Sichuan peppercorns, 5 star anise, 3 cinnamon sticks, 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds, and 10 cloves. Tie these spices in a cheesecloth bag for easy removal later. In a large pot, combine the peanuts, spice bag, 2 tablespoons of salt, and 4 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 2–3 hours, or until the peanuts are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
For a richer taste, you can add a teaspoon of soy sauce or a pinch of sugar during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Once done, turn off the heat and let the peanuts steep in the liquid for an additional hour to absorb the flavors. Drain and serve warm, or refrigerate for a cold snack. These peanuts stay fresh in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy this savory, addictive treat as a flavorful anytime snack!
