I have a little bit of power. Some that I made and some hotter stuff that was given to me. I would like to make up some spice mixes. Anyone have any good recipes for spice mixes?

I was trying to think up an asian mix and have not tried yet, but this is what I was thinking:

Star anise
Ginger
Shallot (dried)
Cinnomon
Garlic
Pepper of choice

Have not made it, but thought something along those lines would be asian-ish.

Any help would be awesome. I love to mess around in the kitchen and this new heat is exciting. Oh the possibilities.


Thanks,

Rymerpt

Man you just gotta experiment. Make small batches. Hone it until it is perfect. And then gloat at how bad ass of a spice maker you are

maybe dried orange? Goes easy if you use cinnamon!
 
As PJ91 said, play around with it!

Yea "play around with it" is what I always do. Just thought in a wanted forum i'd get some blend ideas that maybe I had not thought of.


Orange is a good idea. Dried mango even.

So, what do you use?

How about some 5-spice?

cloves, white peppercorns and lemon grass are also used allot in Chinese cooking and might make a nice addition to your spices. I've been cooking Chinese food on my carbon steel woks since the 70's when I bought them in SF Chinatown.
