Three Chinese BBQ Spice Mixes for the Grill
BBQ Spice Mixes! We've been wanting to do a Chinese BBQ 101 video for you guys for a while, but unfortunately our building management hasn't been... cooperative lol. So we figured we could at the very least go over some spice mixes.
0:00 - BBQ culture in China
1:39 - Chili Powder Seasoning
3:10 - Chili Powder & Sand Ginger Seasoning
3:51 - Cumin & Sesame Seed Seasoning
5:16 - Other components of Chinese BBQ?
Note: Sometimes at BBQ joints they'll separate the spice mix with a salt/MSG mix. We combined them because if you purchase a pre-made mix here at the store they'll usually include the salt/MSG.
SPICE MIX #1: CHILI POWDER MIX
1 tbsp toasted chili powder (辣椒面, can sub for cayenne pepper)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp MSG (味精)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (孜然)
1/2 tsp white pepper powder (白胡椒粉)
1/2 tsp Sichuan peppercorn powder (花椒粉)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (姜粉)
1/4 tsp ginger powder (大蒜粉)
1/4 tsp star anise powder (八角粉) - you will likely need to grind your own
(Garlic and ginger powder are relatively rare in Chinese cuisine, but are used in some BBQ spice mixes - and we like it)
To prepare the Star Anise powder: Put ~1/3 of a Star Anise into a grinder and blitz. We just do a whole one and reserve the excess though.
To prepare the cumin: Put 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds into a spice grinder and blitz til fine.
To toast the chilis: Use ~15g of a red dried chili that's medium heat (e.g. Arbol, Sichuan Erjingtiao, Japones, Guizhou Longhorn, Cayenne, etc etc) - this will likely make extra. Snip into ~1 inch sections. Toast over med-low for ~8 minutes, or until they're 'chestnut-colored'
You can swap the cumin seeds for ground cumin if you like. You can also alternatively use homemade toasted-then-ground Sichuan peppercorn powder, but if using homemade I'd swap down to 1/4 tsp.
SPICE MIX #2: CHILI POWDER AND SAND GINGER MIX
1 tsp toasted chili powder (辣椒面, can sub for cayenne pepper)
1 tsp sand ginger (沙姜), a.k.a. Shajiang, Kencur, Cutcherry powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp MSG (味精)
1/2 tsp white pepper powder (白胡椒粉)
1/4 tsp five spice powder (五香粉)
SPICE MIX #3: CUMIN AND SESAME MIX
5 tsp cumin seeds (孜然)
2.5 tsp toasted sesame seeds (芝麻)
1 tsp fennel seed (小茴香)
1 tsp toasted chili powder (辣椒粉) -or- cayenne pepper is ok
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp MSG (味精)
To prepare the cumin: Put 5 tsp of cumin seeds into a spice grinder and blitz for ~10-20 seconds til half ground.
To prepare the sesame seeds: Toast some sesame seeds over medium flame for ~5 minutes until deepened in color and you can hear some light popping sounds. Give a very light pound in a mortar to just crack them open a touch.
To prepare the fennel seed: Put 1 tsp fennel seed into a spice grinder and blitz until fine.

How to make Arrosticini Abruzzesi | Italian lamb skewers feat BBQ Aroma
Part One of my Arrosticini series is all about how to prepare this traditional Abruzzese dish. In this episode, I have partnered with BBQ and Grill expert, BBQ Aroma and we prepare the individual skewers with a special utensil called a “Cubo”. I am absolutely thrilled to be sharing this video with you as we create juicy skewers with a lean lamb shoulder. This has just enough fat to sizzle on a flame and add an extra flavour bomb to the meat. Look out for Part 2 where we cook and savour the Arrosticini, taking me right back home…with a special guest!

Italian Style Food Revolution
INGREDIENTS:
3ml Bamboo sticks (skewers)
Lamb shoulder (qty depends on how much you are making)
UTENSILS:
Cubo (If you are interested in purchasing a Cubo box, BBQ expert Nick Angelucci of BBQ Aroma sells them. He can also give you more advice about alternate options to use. (INSERT LINK)
Long metal skewer
Fillet Knife (Sharpened)
METHOD:
1. Get out the Cubo and layer the filleted lamb shoulders inside the cube, flattening them slightly and making sure you cover each corner.
2. Once you have built the layers of your Arrosticini, close the Cubo tightly with the lid, pressing down hard.
BBQ AROMA TIP: Prior to using the bamboo sticks for your Arrosticini, soak them for around an hour, using hot water and add a little salt. This will prevent them from burning when cooking the meat.
3. You then need to poke through every individual hole from the top of the Cubo, so that the bamboo skewer can then slide straight in.
4. On the sides of the Cubo box, there are guides which you should follow to slice through the meat using a fillet knife. Doing this, will create small pieces of meat which will then be left as cubes on every single Arrosticini skewer!
5. Press down hard on the skewers with a thin plate and lift up the lid. You can then remove this, followed by each individual skewer.
6. Line the Arrosticini up on a plate or a tray.
The Arrosticini are now ready to be grilled…watch out next week for Part Two of the Arrosticini series, How to COOK Arrosticini…I CAN’T WAIT!

BBQ Lamb Skewers - Tips and Techniques for the Perfect Flavor
How lamb is prepared, seasoned, and cooked, is essential for amazing flavors. If you like lamb, you are going to love this recipe and method - and if you do not like lamb, you will also love this recipe, as this method will change your mind :) Enjoy!!
BBQ Lamb Skewers
Ingredients/Utensils
• Lamb shoulder chops (preferably fresh – preferably New Zealand Spring Lamb) (only use shoulder chops – they are best as you need that extra fat)
• Salt to taste
• Wood (or metal) skewers
• Paper towels
Note: 1 lamb shoulder chop, will make 3 – 4 skewers
Directions
• Preheat the BBQ on high
• Soak wood skewers in water (5 mins)
• Scrap the top and bottom of the lamb chops with the back side of a knife (or use a butter knife) to remove any residue
• Dry each lamb chop with paper towel
• Cut lamb into thin strips, about ¾ inch thick and then cut into 3/4 “squares.
• Thread lamb pieces onto skewers, so that they are just touching, but not packed tight
• Generously salt the lamb to taste, on both front and back sides
• Place on BBQ and with lid open, grill for ~4 mins
• After ~4 mins, turn skewers over, and cook the other side for ~4 mins, again, with lid open (note: lamb needs to be well done)
• Remove and serve right away – must be eaten hot
• Enjoy!
