Five-spice powder is a seasoning in Chinese cuisine. It incorporates the five basic flavors of Chinese cooking — sweet, sour, bitter, savory, and salty.
2 teaspoons Szechuan Pepper corns roasted and ground fine
8 Star Anise, roasted and ground fine
1/2 teaspoon Cloves, ground fine
3 teaspoons Fennel seed, ground fine
3 teaspoons Cinnamon, broken, ground fine
Roast Pepper corns and Star Anis for two minutes in a dry hot frying pan.
Grind the Pepper corns and Star Anis in a mortar, coffee grinder or food-processor until it is a fine powder.
Break the Cinnamon stick to small pieces and grind in a coffee grinder or food-processor until it is a fine powder.
Grind Cloves and Fennel seeds to a fine powder;
Mix five spices together, and grind the whole blend once again until you have a smooth and uniform powder.
Stored dry, cool and dark in a tight closed jar, your own super Chinese Five Spice Powder will hold for weeks.
