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.

#shorts #kofta #kebabs
Beef Kofta Kebabs
Ingredients:
2 lbs Ground Beef
1/2 Onion (finely minced)
4 Garlic Cloves (finely minced)
1 Bunch Of Mint (finely minced)
1 Bunch Of Parsley (finely minced)
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
2 tsp Allspice
1 tsp Cumin
2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Cayenne
1/2 tsp Ground Green Cardamom
1 tsp Sumac (optional)
Salt and Black Pepper
Accoutrements:
Pita or Flat Bread
Sliced Onion
Sliced Cucumber
Sliced Tomato
Shredded Lettuce
Lemon Wedges
Tzatziki Sauce Ingredients :
1 Cup Yogurt
1/2 Cup Cucumber (grated)
1 Garlic Clove (minced)
1 Tbsp Mint (finely minced)
1-2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt
Instructions:
In a large bowl combine all the tzatziki sauce ingredients and season with salt to taste. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
In a large bowl combine the ground beef, all the dry spices, finely minced onion, garlic, mint, lemon juice, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper then mix until completely incorporated and slightly tacky.
Form a few ounces of the ground meat mixture into a oblong shape in your hand. Using a flat skewer, skewer the meat through the center and evenly spread the meat across the length of the skewer. (PRO-TIP: keep the meat cold, this will help the meat stick and stay on the skewer). Repeat with the rest of the kebabs. Place the kebabs on a sheet tray then place in the fridge to keep cold while you fire up the grill.
Next using a charcoal grill with a few wood chunks added for smoke, grill the kebabs suspended by a metal kebab holder (Check Amazon). Turn the kebobs every 30 seconds until cooked then remove from the grill. (You can also grill the kebabs directly on the grill just make sure the grill grate spacing is close together).
Serve the kofta with sliced tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, lemon wedges, lettuce, pita or flatbread, and the tzatziki sauce.
Enjoy!

• Dry each lamb chop with paper towel
• Cut lamb into thin strips, about ¾ inch thick and then cut into 3/4 “squares.

• 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)
