Ground Black Pepper – A Rarely Used Spice in Chinese Cuisine

If you plan to prepare ground black pepper home recipes in Chinese cuisines, you should know that the Chinese widely use white pepper and black pepper is rarely used in Chinese cuisine. The Chinese use them because ground black pepper recipes are known for the rich antioxidant content. It means that this ingredient will help with fighting free radical damage. The Chinese know that free radical damage is the important reason for many illnesses and aging. This versatile spice powder adds a little spiciness to any dish and it is the best alternative to red chili powder that is not healthy as black pepper powder.

To prepare Chinese ground black pepper recipes, you have a couple of options to use the pepper powder. Yes, you can find readily available ground black pepper in stores. But, the problem with this powder is that once grounded and added fresh to ingredients, it will enhance the taste and flavor a lot. On the other hand, if you use long-stored ground pepper in your easy ground pepper recipes, it will not have that much taste and effectiveness as the fresh powder. You can add the powder to soups, veggies and any other recipe in little quantity for better aroma and spiciness.
