In summer, what side dishes do beers best match? Well, in addition to the popular crayfish and various skewers, the classic, unchanged for decades is the five-spice boiled peanuts and edamame, right?
Both of these things are common in the north and south, and the key is not expensive. More than a dozen dollars can buy several pounds, wash and wash, then cut the opening, use the brine to soak a bubble and cook, into the taste, is a very good appetizer. From what I remember, this is a common side dish on the adult table.
5 minutes to cook out the turquoise flavor of the edamame, this has been shared two days ago, today just talk about this five-spice boiled peanuts.
The new peanuts are on the market and still have the aroma of earth, so they should be washed several times. The last two times it is best to soak in thick salt water for about 10 minutes, and then toss up and down with your hands, in order to thoroughly wash the soil on the peanut shell. The clean peanuts must be pinched to make the taste enter the inside of the peanuts and taste delicious.
In addition, although the seasoning is common, due to the obstruction of the peanut shell, even if there is an opening, it is not easy to taste, so the amount of seasoning and salt can be appropriately increased. The cooked peanuts are soaked in the soup, so that it is even "moist" with peanuts and rice with soup in the mouth, and then it is interesting to feel that it has a taste.
