The Irish Spice Bag has to be one of my favourite takeaway foods in Ireland. If you haven’t come across it, please check my Irish Spice Bag recipe. There, I go into more detail about what it is and how to make it at home. It’s easy enough and super tasty “fakeaway”.
Of course, a good Spice Bag also needs its signature spice mix. It’s an interesting medley of spices, with main flavour notes from Chinese five spice, salt, sugar and chilli flakes. The recipe is super easy: measure the spices and mix, then store in a cool, dry place, like any other spices. That’s literally it.
To use, sprinkle around one teaspoon of the spice mixture per serving over your chips, vegetables, or anything else you want to give a spicy kick.
