DescriptionChinese Five Spice is believed to be the result of China wanting to make an all-encompassing “wonder powder” that had the elements of sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and salty. Star anise and cinnamon are traditionally the base of this blend, which makes it stand out from other blends you may be familiar with. |
Common Ways to ConsumeAside from the classic choice of stir fry, five spice can be used in many different unconventional ways. Some fun dishes to try this blend with, are roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli beef, teriyaki chicken breast, spiced cashew mix, and even whiskey sour! When paired with strong, grainy taste of whiskey, five spice provides a sweet and sour taste that you must try. |
