FIVE SPICE HOMEMADE POWDER (SALLYE) image

My version of a spice often used in Asian dishes. It is not always available in supermarkets, and making your own is easy and more economical.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoon(s) szechuan or black peppercorns
8 - star anise
2 tablespoon(s) fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cloves
1 tablespoon(s) cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat heavy dry skillet (I use cast iron) to medium heat. Add peppercorns and shake around or stir with wooden spoon about 2 minutes until aroma is released. Remove peppercorns into a small bowl.
  • In same skillet add star anise and fennel seed. Shake around or stir with wooden spoon for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat
  • Place all inredients into spice grinder or blender and grind until a fine powder is formed. Let rest for a minute or two for powder to settle. Pour into airtight container and store in cool dry place. Will keep for several months.
  • NOTE: IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SPICE GRINDER, I SUGGEST YOU BUY THE STAR ANISE ALREADY GROUND. IT IS VERY HARD TO GRIND IN A BLENDER. Use 1 tablespoon of ground anise as alternate
