BBQ Spice Mixes! We've been
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.

Learn how to cook real deal, authentic Chinese food! We post recipes every Friday (unless we happen to be travelling) :)
We're Steph and Chris - a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shunde, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China - you'll usually be watching her behind the wok. Chris is a long-term expat from America that's been living in China and loving it for the last eleven years - you'll be listening to his explanations and recipe details, and doing some cooking at times as well.
This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you'd get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what's made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients - but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
