| 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. |
