5 Spice Powder

5 Spice Powder is one of those essential ingredients that you can use to quickly add additional flavor to all sorts of meats.

I usually will add 5 spice powder to lamb when I am grilling it, or searing it to seal in the juices. It also works well with Duck when you are roasting it with honey and soy sauce.

You can easily make 5 Spice Powder with a spice grinder.

Version #1 Ingredients
Dried Mikan peels  5 pieces of peel
Roasted Sichuan Peppercorns  1 teaspoon
Anise Seed    1 teaspoon
Cumin Seed   1 teaspoon
Brown Sugar   1/4 teaspoon




Version #2 Ingredients

Dried Mikan peels  5 pieces of peel
Roasted Fennel Seed  1 teaspoon
Anise Seed    1 teaspoon
Cinnamon Stick   1 stick
Brown Sugar  1/4 teaspoon


Grind it all in a spice grinder until it is very fine. Enjoy!
