To make the spice blend, mix star anise and Szechuan pepper and grind until fine. Combine the chilli/garlic paste and garlic, and blitz until smooth. In a pan, combine the panela, soy sauce and mirin. Once combined, heat gently to dissolve the panela. Add the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the aji limo, allow to cool. Whisk in the aji limo
