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.
