FALL 5-SPICE SOUP



Fall 5-Spice Soup image

I am a soup fanatic, and found that Chinese 5-spice, made up of anise, fennel, cloves, cinnamon, and white or Szechwan pepper was a great way to jazz-up common fall vegetables.

FIVE SPICE



Five Spice image

At once musky and sweet, with a pronounced kick, five spice is traditionally made from equal parts cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, star anise and peppercorns (usually Sichuan or white). This one, adapted from Kian Lam Kho, the author of "Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees: Essential Techniques of Authentic Chinese Cooking" (Clarkson Potter, 2015), includes Sichuan peppercorns to give the mix a characteristically numbing, tingly sensation on the tongue known as mala. Once the spices are toasted and mixed, the blend can be used both whole (simmered into stews, braises and soups) and ground (added to sauces, roasted meats and vegetables). Or, stir some salt into the ground blend and use it as a piquant table condiment: It's wonderful sprinkled on everything from barbecued meats to scrambled eggs.

Time 5m

Yield 1/4 cup ground spice blend

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (2-inch/5-gram) piece cassia bark or cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons/5 grams fennel seeds
5 whole star anise pods (5 grams)
3 1/2 teaspoons/5 grams Sichuan peppercorns
2 teaspoons/5 grams whole cloves

Steps:

  • Place a small skillet over medium heat. Add spices and toast, stirring, until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and set aside to cool. If using the whole spices for a braise, they are ready to go.
  • To make the spices into a powder, use a spice grinder, clean coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle to grind the spices until fine. If you like, you can strain the mix through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any coarse bits, but this is optional. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
