China Five Spice

also: five spice powder, Chinese Five Spices, Wu Xian Fen

Description:
China five spice is a traditional Chinese spice blend and character-defining ingredient of some typical dishes. Throughout China, this blend is used to season meat marinades, broths, salad dressings and doughs. It harmonizes particularly well with poultry, beef and pork.

Usage:
Use the blend sparingly, as its flavor is very pronounced and quickly dominates the flavor of all other ingredients. Add at the beginning or end of the preparation.

Ingredients:
Szechuan pepper, padang cinnamon, clove, fennel, star anise.
