Instructions
- Put peanuts, water and spices in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Boil for 1 hour on a pressure cooker or instant pot on high pressure setting, or 3 to 4 hours in a pan with lid on medium heat. If using a regular pan, check on the water level occasionally and add more boiling water if needed. The peanuts should be fully covered in water at all times.
- When ready, turn off the heat and let the boiled peanuts cool in the pot for about 30 minutes. If using a pressure cooker, let the pressure release naturally before opening it.

Notes
- I use gluten-free soy sauce. You can use coconut aminos if avoiding soy.
- You can shorten the cooking time on the stove by soaking them overnight.
- Boiled peanuts don’t change shape during cooking, the beans just get slightly larger from absorbing the water. If cooking in a regular pan, you can check if they are ready: they will mash with a light squeeze between your fingers.
- Serve them drained from the liquid and warm. Keep them refrigerated in their water for up to 2 days, or freeze them in divided portions indefinitely.
