How to Make Five Spice Powder at Home | An Essential Ingredient for Chinese Cooking

After we have released our Taiwanese Crispy Chicken video, some of you have been asking us how to make five spice powder - which is an essential ingredient to making the Taiwanese Crispy Chicken. Five spice powder is readily available in most parts of Asia especially where Chinese populates the most but unfortunately, this ingredient may not be as readily available in most western countries. We use five spice powder in many of our recipes such as Five Spice Crispy Pork Ribs, Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice, Coffee Pork Ribs and Crispy Roasted Chicken etc. If you like Chinese food, you need to stock up your stash of five spice powder so you can use it anytime whenever the recipe calls.

See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.

Hope you can recreate this easy recipe in the comfort of your home. Thanks for dropping by our channel.

Help....I don't like cinnamon, can I skip this one out? What's your recommendation?

Thank you for showing a non-standard recipe for 5-spice powder: your contains white peppercorns and coriander seeds, which is a welcome change from all the recipes that contain fennel seeds and prickly ash (also known as Sichuan peppercorns). But, I have yet to find a recipe for 5-spice powder that calls for dried orange peel! I have a lot of dried orange peel granules at home and I want to use them. I've heard the southern Chinese use orange peel and Saigon cinnamon as a substitute for Chinese cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia). I've also heard of ginger being used in 5-spice powder mixes, but I can't find any recipes calling for ginger on the internet in English, so I don't know what amount to use. Can you tell me how many teaspoons of granulated dried orange peel I should use, and if I should reduce or remove another ingredient to accommodate the 5-spice powder? I'm not looking to replace Chinese cinnamon with Saigon cinnamon, by the way. I was just copying a sentence I saw on the internet about what dried orange peels are used for. Would Indonesian Korintje cinnamon taste good in this recipe? (cinnamomum burmanii). I'm going to be getting some Ceylon cinnamon too, soon. (cinnamomum zeylanicum or c. verum). I have prickly ash at home, too. But I just don't want my dried orange peel to go rotten/expire.
