See shipping detailsSweet-aromatic, anise-forward and intensely fragrant. Chinese Five Spice combines star anise, fennel, cinnamon, clove and Sichuan-pepper character into a compact seasoning designed to balance sweet, warm and savory flavors.
Flavor & cooking character
Licorice-like star anise and fennel up front, warm cinnamon and clove through the middle, followed by the citrusy, gently numbing character associated with Sichuan pepper.
Five-spice is potent and aromatic, especially beside sweet ingredients. A small dose can season a whole dish; a large one can make the licorice and clove notes dominate. Use it as a background warmth first, then adjust deliberately.
What to cook
Pork, duck, chicken, ribs, roasted mushrooms, tofu, sweet potatoes, stir-fried vegetables, braised dishes and even chocolate or spiced baked goods.
How much to use & when to add it
1/4 teaspoon per pound of food to begin.
Use this amount as a starting point for flavor, then adjust to your food and taste. If other ingredients bring salt, sweetness or heat, account for those before adding more seasoning.
Kitchen idea: Five-spice roasted carrots
Toss 1 pound carrots with oil and 1/4 teaspoon five-spice. Roast at 400°F until tender. Finish with orange zest and a little soy sauce if desired, then taste before adding more spice. Serve with rice and cooked greens.
