The selected Oriental “five Spice” or mixture of five spices, is sweet and warm thanks to the anise and cinnamon,
but it is also cool and deep due to the fennel and cloves.

The mixture got its name from the five basic Chinese flavors that it produces when consumed: The salty, the spicy, the sour, the sweet and the bitter!
It is known for its use in Chinese cuisine, where it is often integrated into everyday cooking,
but is also used in other Asian, Western, Indian and Arabic cuisines.

IDEAS AND TIPS FOR USING THE CHINESE MIXTURE FIVE SPICE

–One of its most common uses in China is to rub on meat. This dry marinade is ideal for fatty meats such as pork, duck or goose.
Chinese Five Spice is an integral part of any traditional Peking duck recipe. However,
it goes surprisingly well with lamb (an idea for its integration in Greek cuisine), beef and of course meatballs.

–This powerful blend also goes well with soups, french fries and fried rice.
Chinese Five Spice can be used to add depth to English curries (our braised-cooked ones) and can prove to be an interesting and unexpected
addition to English chutneys, cookies or spice cakes.

–The Chinese five Spice is quite intense in taste so usually a pinch is enough to transform one of our dishes.

–Suitable for braised but also grilled meats.

–For baked or skewered chicken: Mix it with a little olive oil and spread it on a chicken. The result will be amazing.

–You can also use it in cakes, such as apple cakes.

2-3 grams of the mixture is enough to give an incredible taste.
