Steenbergs China 5 Spice Blend - 42G

Flavours: Hot
Cuisines: Chinese

This is a blend of the core spices of Chinese cooking - star anise (baat gok), fennel (woof heung), with Sichuan pepper (faah jiu) substituted here for organic black pepper, cloves (ding heung) and cinnamon (yook gwuy). and is dominated by anise flavours, led by the star anise spice. These are combined with the sweetness of cinnamon and cloves and brought together by the almost anise-like flavours of fennel seeds.

China 5 spice is used in many Asian recipes, great in stir fries and chinese noodle soups, and its sweet tangy flavours sit well with the greasy meats like pork and duck - just rub - a teaspoon of China 5 Spice on a duck breast then drizzle with honey and roast for 20 minutes in an oven at 180C. Just wonderful!

As with all Steenbergs artisan spice blends this seasoning has been created and blended at the Steenbergs spice factory in rural North Yorkshire, Great Britain, just north of the cathedral city of Ripon. Steenbergs specialises in organic and fairly traded spices..
