Add scallion pieces and ginger chunks, and sauté with sugar to get the color. 3. Pour rice wine, immediately cover the pot to let it evaporate for 2 minutes to remove miscellaneous flavors.

- Tips

1. It's better to have a little more water when simmering; do not add water in the middle. If there is still too much broth at the end, increase the heat and simmer without a lid until it dries up.
2. If you prefer slightly harder peanuts, add them in the last half hour.
3. Using fermented black beans instead gives a different flavor.
