After a disaster attempt on peanut sweet soup, I wanted to see whether braising peanut will be successful.
Findings: I braised it for 2.5 hours to get the texture that I like. Braising with chicken broth really enhance the taste of this peanuts.What you need:
200g shelled raw peanuts1 star anise 1 medium size cinnamon stick 2 Tbsp of soy sauce 1 Tbsp of oyster sauce 3 tsp of dark soy sauce 3 slices of ginger80g garlic5 pieces of rock sugar 3g saltPepper to taste 2 cup water
6 cups chicken broth
Method:
Rinsed and soak the peanut over night. Discard water and rinse again.
In a big pot, add peanut and 2 cups of water and bring to a brisk boil. Remove.
Dry and reheat the pot, add a little oil and sautee the ginger and star anise until fragrant.
Pour in 6 Cups of water and the rest of the ingredients.
Bring water to a boil and then lower the heat and let it simmer for 1 – 2 hours or until peanut is soft.
Season with soya sauce if needed.
Serve it as side dish with porridge.
Enjoy.
