Chinese 5 Spice

I had been wanting to post a separate recipe featuring this spice blend for quite a while. I finally have the chance to do so today and in my humble opinion, this is a very underrated spice blend. Which I always wonder why. Not only you can use this on various Chinese dishes, but you can also use it as a BBQ rub or even in cakes. Once you start making your own spice blend, you will never go back to those store-bought ones.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a skillet over medium heat, add all the ingredients. Toast lightly until aromatic. Transfer into a spice grinder. Blitz until powder forms Transfer into a sterilized mason jar. Cover tightly and store in a dry cool place. I like to store my spices in the freezer so that they will last longer.
