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.
