Chinese 5 Spice 70g

The quintessential flavour of Asian cuisine in one jar. Our Chinese Five-Spice Powder is a perfectly balanced blend of star anise, cloves, Chinese cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, and fennel seeds. It delivers a symphony of sweet, savoury, warm, and slightly numbing notes that is irreplaceable in classic dishes. A pinch unlocks a world of authentic flavour:

Classic Roasted Meats: The legendary seasoning for Chinese roast duck, char siu (BBQ pork), and pork belly. Mix with honey, soy sauce, and hoisin for a classic glaze.

Braises & Stews: Add a teaspoon to master stocks, braised beef noodle soup, or red-cooked dishes for incredible depth.

Vegetarian & Tofu Dishes: A secret weapon for seasoning stir-fried greens, roasted pumpkin, or marinated tofu. Spiced Nuts & Snacks: Toss with cashews or almonds and a little oil before roasting for a unique, aromatic snack.

Unexpected Desserts: A tiny pinch can add a wonderful warmth to poached fruits, apple pies, or chocolate-based desserts.

How to Use: This is a potent blend. Always start with ¼ to ½ a teaspoon for a whole dish and adjust to taste. It is best added during cooking to allow its flavours to meld and mellow.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect its complex aroma.
