Five-spice powder (recipes)


A pungent mixture of five spices commonly used in Chinese cookery; it' s a brown powder made of ground star anise, fennel seeds, cloves, cinnamon and Sichuan pepper. It' s available from Chinese grocers, and is becoming more widely available in supermarkets too. A good blend should be fragrant and spicy but also slightly sweet.Five-spice spare ribsCrispy aromatic duck
