For adding authentic flavour to your Chinese cooking, making your own Chinese 5 spice powder is the thing to do! Super versatile, it works with numerous dishes both savoury and sweet.

Makes about 6 tbsp

1 tbsp peppercorns
1 tbsp fennel seeds
2 tsp whole cloves
3 inch piece of cinnamon
3-4 star anise

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

  • Break up the cinnamon stick and star anise

  • Finely grind the cinnamon and star anise pieces with the fennel seeds, cloves and peppercorns

Note: You could dry toast all the spices before grinding. This really brings out their flavours and aromas!

How to Toast and Grind

Dry toasting and grinding spices is the key to getting the most flavour out of your ingredients and into your home cooking...

Step 1: Add your whole spices to a dry pan over a low to medium heat and whilst stirring or shaking the pan, lightly toast them for a few minutes. When you can really smell the aromas and they start to darken, they're ready.

Step 2: Let them cool and then grind.

Step 3: For a finer blend, put them through a sieve before combining with any ground ingredients and herbs.
