Chinese five spice powder

About the ingredient chinese five spice powder. Including 95 recipes with chinese five spice powder, and where to find it.

 

What is chinese five spice powder?

Five spice powder is used extensively in chinese cooking.

This pungent mixture of five ground spices usually consists of equal parts of cinnamon, cloves, fennel seed, star anise, and szechuan peppercorns.

Prepackaged five-spice powder is available in Asian markets and most supermarkets.

You can easily make your own from whole spices which results in a much fresher and significantly more flavourful spice mixture.

After a few potsticker recipes, I finally made my very first bunch of pot sticky buns (another popular food in China). They came out soft, and quite delicious. Nicely browned and crispy at the bottom. It's an excellent way to use up some of our fresh veggies.

Making pot stickers are pretty much as same as making dumplings, the only thing different is how to cook them. Instead of boiling in the water, we fry them in a nonstick skillet with a bit oil, which really develops a layer of golden, brown and crispy bottoms with great texture. Serve these yummy pot stickers with a mixture of rice vinegar, a little bit soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil and splash of hot pepper oil.
