Brilio.net - One of many people's favorite snacks is peanuts. This savory and delicious snack can always be addictive. Once you try it, it's hard to stop eating until the peanuts are completely gone.
Usually, peanuts are processed for snacks by boiling them with their skins for some time. To add a savory taste, some add salt to the boiling water. After adding salt, the peanuts are boiled until they are soft and tender.
However, to get a soft peanut texture, the boiling process usually takes quite a long time, around 1-2 hours. The long boiling duration often makes people lazy to boil peanuts themselves at home.
In addition, the long boiling duration can also make the beans very wet and easy to go stale. To prevent this, some people cook them again by roasting them until dry.
In fact, there is another more practical way to cook peanuts. A YouTube user named Fia Story once shared another method of cooking peanuts. To get the best results, she did not boil the peanuts.
As reported by BrilioFood on Sunday (15/9), Fia chose the steaming method to soften her peanuts . By steaming, these peanuts become firmer and drier even without roasting. In addition, peanuts can also be soft in a matter of minutes.

To be more precise, first prepare the peanuts to be processed. After that, wash the peanuts thoroughly in running water. If so, drain and set aside first.
Next, prepare a steamer. Fill it with water and boil the water until it boils. When it boils, put the peanuts into the steamer. Then cover the pan and steam for 15 minutes.

While steaming, prepare a bowl of water. Then add salt and stir until evenly mixed. Around the 7th to 10th minute, open the lid of the pan and pour the salt water evenly over the surface of the peanuts. That way, the taste of the peanuts will be even more savory.

After pouring salt water, cover the pan again and continue the steaming process for exactly 15 minutes. If so, turn off the stove and open the pan lid. Immediately move the peanuts onto a plate. Well, the results of these steamed peanuts are really dry and soft, you know.
