Recipe ideas for Chinese Five Spice
The classic southern Chinese Five Spice blend
encompasses nature's five basic flavors: sour,
sweet, bitter, pungent and salty. The formulae are
based on the Chinese philosophy of balancing the
yin and yang in food. This aromatic blend of spices
gives a slightly sweet smelling, pungent flavor to
roasted meats or poultry, and adds wonderful
character to stir fry dishes and marinades and
mixes well with soy sauce, garlic and ginger.
For something different try adding it to
cakes, muffins, breads, waffles, cookies
or scones. For a unique burger or
meatloaf add some five spice powder to
the meat before cooking and serve it with
a sweet and sour or plum sauce. A
versatile seasoned salt can be easily
made by stir-frying common salt with five
spice powder under low heat in a dry pan
until the spice and salt are well mixed.
Five spice powder has a unique flavor
and should be used in small amounts, a
pinch of the powder goes a long way.
