NOTES:
If unable to find the Chinese five spice powder. Here are the simple steps to creating your own five spice powder!
PREPARING FIVE SPICE POWDER
It is recommended that you use whole spices, instead of already ground because it tends to hold in the flavor instead of simply drowning it out.
A pinch of Black Cardamom simply for taste, always optional.
Over medium heat, roast each spice separately until odorous.
Each spice may take different amounts of time to roast, so it’s best to use separate pans.
When each spice is cooled down to room temperature, grind each spice in grinder, again separately, then blend all spices together in a large bowl.
Good to go!
