Five-spice powder
Five-spice powder is a convenient seasoning in
Chinese cuisine. It incorporates the five basic flavors of Chinese cooking —
sweet,
sour,
bitter,
savory, and
salty. It consists of
Chinese Tung Hing
cinnamon (actually a type of
cassia), powdered cassia buds, powdered
star anise and
anise seed,
ginger root, and ground
cloves. Another recipe for the powder consists of huajiao (
Szechuan pepper), bajiao (
star anise), rougui (
cassia),
cloves, and
fennel seeds. It is used in most recipes for Cantonese roasted
duck, as well as
beef stew. The Five-spice powder mixture has followed the Chinese
diaspora and has been incorporated into national cuisines throughout Asia.
