In fact, if you know the technique, the boiling process can be shortened, you know. A YouTube user Umi noz's culinary once shared a trick to boil 1 kilogram of peanuts in a short time. In just 10 minutes, the peanuts can be soft. In addition, the peanuts are not wet.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Umi noz's culinary on Monday (24/7), you need to prepare 3 tablespoons of salt and 1 small packet of powdered broth to boil 1 kilogram of peanuts with their skins.

After 10 minutes, turn off the stove. Then let the pot sit tightly covered for 30 minutes. Well, at this stage the peanuts will become softer. Because basically, the hot water temperature will continue the cooking process and soften the peanuts. If so, remove the peanuts and drain.

In the video, YouTube user Umi noz's culinary does another way to make the peanuts drier and not soggy. So, after draining, the peanuts must be roasted (without oil) for 10-15 minutes while continuing to stir so that the skin does not burn. This is done so that the water content in the peanuts can shrink.
