Recipe for Boiled peanuts
Boiled Peanuts (Hawaii)2 pounds raw peanuts
2 tablespoons Hawaiian rock salt
1 whole bhat gok (star anise) Soak peanuts in water overnight, weighing down the peanuts with a dish and a weight, like a large can of pork and beans. The next day, wash and rub peanuts until the water is clear. Put peanuts in a pot with water about 1 1/2 inches above the peanuts. (Hold peanuts down with your hand.) Add salt and bhat gok. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes. Taste for doneness. Peanut should be medium to soft, depending on the taster. Cook 30 minutes longer for a softer peanut. Let peanuts stand in water for 1 hour. Pour off excess water. Package and refrigerate. Boiled peanuts may be frozen until ready to use or eaten right away.
