Chinese five-spice powder is a blend of five spices: star anise, cloves, Chinese cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns, and fennel seeds.
This aromatic blend is a staple in Chinese cuisine, offering a balance of sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami flavors.
Use it to season stir-fries, roast meats, or add depth to marinades and sauces.
For a quick and flavorful stir-fry, sprinkle five-spice powder over vegetables and tofu.
