MINUTE RICE FIVE SPICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Brown meat in oil, add onions and cook until tender.
• Stir in seasonings, soup, tomatoes, and Minute rice.
• Simmer 5 minutes.
• Stir occasionally.
• Spoon into 1 1/2 quart baking dish. (But I only use a cast iron skillet, since it is both oven and stove top friendly. Plus, my Grandmother always made it in a cast iron skillet, and I did learn from her. She was the best cook for comfort foods.).
• Criss cross with cheese and broil until cheese melts.
• Garnish with olives if desired.
• Instead of olives, we sometimes use jalepenos.
• Also, this recipe works well when you cook it in a cast iron skillet- you only dirty one dish that way!

FIVE-SPICE STEAK BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Brush the steaks with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with 1 tablespoon of the five-spice powder and a pinch of salt.
• Toss the bok choy and red pepper with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons five-spice powder. Season with a pinch of salt.
• Add the steaks, bok choy and peppers to the grill. Cook, flipping halfway, until the steaks and vegetables are grill-marked and the steaks are cooked to desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small bowl.
• Divide the rice between 2 bowls and top with the vegetables. Slice the steaks and divide between the bowls. Garnish with the mayonnaise mixture and green onions, as well as a tablespoon each of the chili paste and hoisin sauce.

FIVE-SPICE MIX

Steps:

• Toast the whole spices in a small pan until they are aromatic and have turned a shade or two darker. Don't be tempted to skip this stage, as it really enhances the flavours.
• Tip into a spice grinder (or use a pestle and mortar), then add the ready-ground spices and dried herbs if required, and crush to a fine powder. Store in a sealed jar for up to six months.

FIVE SPICE

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.

FIVE SPICE HOMEMADE POWDER (SALLYE)

Steps:

• Preheat heavy dry skillet (I use cast iron) to medium heat. Add peppercorns and shake around or stir with wooden spoon about 2 minutes until aroma is released. Remove peppercorns into a small bowl.
• In same skillet add star anise and fennel seed. Shake around or stir with wooden spoon for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat
• Place all inredients into spice grinder or blender and grind until a fine powder is formed. Let rest for a minute or two for powder to settle. Pour into airtight container and store in cool dry place. Will keep for several months.
• NOTE: IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SPICE GRINDER, I SUGGEST YOU BUY THE STAR ANISE ALREADY GROUND. IT IS VERY HARD TO GRIND IN A BLENDER. Use 1 tablespoon of ground anise as alternate
