Chinese Five-Spice Powder Recipe-September 2024-www.zdask.com

　　Though available prepackaged, homemade five-spice powder is far more pungent and flavorful than store-bought. Rub it on fowl, fish, and meat.

Ingredients

makes 1/4 cup

　　10 whole star anise

　　1 tablespoon whole Szechuan peppercorns

　　1 cinnamon stick

　　2 tablespoons whole fennel seeds

　　1/2 teaspoon whole cloves

Step 1

Place all the ingredients in a small skillet over medium heat, and dry-roast, shaking the pan often, until they give off an aroma, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Combine all the ingredients in a mortar or a spice grinder, and grind to a powder. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
