Chinese Five Spices (太陽門五香粉) 32g

Interestingly, the Chinese Five Spice is based on the five elements – fire, water, wood, earth and metal. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the five elements are manifested in different parts of the body and when there are imbalances in these elements, illness can result. For thousands of years, herbs and spices have been used to restore balance in the body and that is why Chinese five-spice powder came to be.

It is best used when seasoning meat (especially those that are high in fat content). You’ll often find it in Chinese marinades and dry rubs of such dishes.

It can also really enhance fried chicken, roast duck, and ribs. In Cantonese restaurants, you’ll often see it mixed with salt and served with fried or roasted chicken and pork. You can dip pieces of juicy meat into this seasoned salt for maximum flavor punch.
