With a pleasant toothsome crunch, these spiced boiled peanuts resemble the legumes that peanuts actually are rather than the nuts that we think they are.

- 3 3thin slices gingerroot
- 2 2star anise
- 1/2 cup 1/2cupfinely diced daikon radishdaikon radishes

Preparation
In saucepan, bring peanuts, ginger, star anise and 2-3/4 cups (675 mL) water to boil; reduce heat to medium. Boil, adding water if necessary to just cover, until nuts are tender-crisp, about 30 minutes. If there is more water than to barely cover, boil down over high heat. Transfer to bowl; let cool.
Meanwhile, in separate bowl, sprinkle radish, carrot and celery with salt; mix well. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Add salted vegetables to peanuts; mix in fish sauce. Refrigerate for 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days.)
