- Chinese Five Spices Powder – is a powder mixture of cinnamon, star anise, cloves, Sichuan peppercorns, and fennel. You can find it in most Chinese/Oriental grocery stores or Amazon online.
- Chicken Powder - is an optional ingredient. You can add chicken powder if you want to taste your chips like your favourite takeaway shop. Vegetarian seasoning powder, msg, fine caster sugar or dashi powder can be substitute.
- White Pepper - Recommend to use white pepper powder to taste like Auntheic Chinese flavour but if you don't have white pepper in hand, substitute with black pepper powder.
