Five Spice Powder, wu xiang fen, has been used in Chinese cooking for centuries. Traditionally made with a mixture of spices - usually including cinnamon, fennel, star anise, ginger, and cloves - it’s believed to unite the five main flavors of traditional Chinese cuisine: salty, sweet, bitter, pungent, and sour. The warm aroma and bold flavor are perfect for frying, stewing, dry rubs, marinades, and seasoning. Try it with fried chicken, ribs, roasted pork, and more.
