I love Chinese 5 spice. It has such an unusual flavor and it is so versatile. Chinese 5 spice has been around for hundreds of years. It is said that the ancient Chinese cooks were attempting to produce a spice that encompassed all five tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, salty and spicy.
Since it is kind of sweet, many people only use it as a flavoring in puddings, cakes and desserts. However, it is also really delicious on meat. It is an excellent ingredient to add to dry meat rubs and marinades on beef, pork and even fish. If you have not ever used it, then it is time that you started! It is easy to make, and the flavor is so much more pronounced when it is ground fresh.
