Five Spice Powder (Chinese) - 50g Pouch
Five spice powder is a blend of 5 types of spices encompassing all the five flavours - sweet, sour, spicy, pungent and salty. The unique taste of this powder can liven up any dish.
The usual spices are star anise, cloves, cinnamon, fennel seeds and Szechwan peppers. Some manufacturers use other combinations as well. The basic idea is the ‘yin and yang’ principle of Chinese philosophy. That is, the heat of an ingredient in a dish is counter balanced by the cooling quality of another ingredient.
Enjoy Me...
- Many Chinese dishes use five spice powders , mainly in meat dishes and most importantly to marinate meats. Even though this powder is popular in Chinese cuisine, it can also be seen in some East Asian dishes.
- It is sometimes used to season vegetable dishes as well. Since the spice powder can be overpowering, use it judiciously, a small pinch goes a long way.
