Description

This staple seasoning in Chinese cuisine is used in marinades or dry-rubs for beef, duck, and pork, as well as added (a pinch!) to vegetable stir-fries and rice dishes. While it can be made ahead and stored in an air-tight container, don't make too much so it stays fresh when you use it.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the anise, peppercorns, cloves, fennel, and coriander (if using) until fragrant. Swirl the pan gently and toss the seeds occasionally to prevent burning. Allow to cool.

  2. Add the seeds and cinnamon sticks to a spice grinder. Grind for twenty seconds until a fine powder is formed. If large pieces remain, grind for another 5 – 10 seconds.
