Rasa,

I have found several recipes for Chinese five-spice powder on the internet. I was stumped too, when I first saw Chinese five-spice powder in a recipe. I finally found it in a supermarket this week.

Anyway this is one of the recipes I found and kept.

Make your own Chinese Five spice powder seasoning mix using either ground or whole spices.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

•1 tsp. ground Szechwan pepper
•1 tsp. ground star anise
•1-1/4 tsp. ground fennel seeds
•1/2 tsp. ground cloves
•1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
•1/2 tsp. salt
•1/4 tsp. ground white pepper

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in small airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place.

Hi, this is maybe a dumb question, but do you add 3 tbsp of liquid tea or 3 tbsp of tea leaves to the water? Thanks!

You have a wonderful site. Beautifully taken pictures and easy to follow recipes… I’m able to relive memories of home, right here from Chicago. :)

Thank you.

Hmm, there is really no alternative but it’s OK to skip.

Hi there,
Would love to try this. However, I can’t get hold of the Chinese five-spice powder here. -__- Would there be any other alternatives that you may suggest?

I just tried your recipe out. I never knew eggs could taste this good. It just bought a beautiful aroma to the house. It must be the cinnamon. I expected it to taste a little bitter because of the pu-erh tea leaves, but to my amazement it actually had a sweet taste. It must have been from the sugar and the spices. Definitely a great recipe.

Thanks,
