    Recipe Introduction


    spice

    List of Ingredients




    2 tsp of peppercorns
    8 star anise
    1/2 tsp ground cloves
    1 Tbl ground cinnamon
    1 Tbl ground fennel seeds

    Recipe



    In a dry skillet, roast 2 teaspoons of peppercorns by shaking the pan over low to medium heat until the aroma of the peppercorns is released (about three minutes).
    Grind the roasted peppercorns and 8 star anise in a blender or pepper mill.
    Strain the blended seasonings.
    Mix in 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon ground fennel seeds.
    Grind the seasonings until very fine.
    Store in an airtight container.
    Tips:
    Use five-spice powder sparingly, as it can be quite pungent.
    If desired, you can substitute black peppercorns for the Szechuan peppercorn, and ground anise for the star anise (use 4 teaspoons of ground anise).
