Chinese Five Spice Powder

Delicious seasoning on pork belly.

Love this 5 Spice. Have already gone through 2lbs and will order more!

I went in blind, not knowing how this spice should taste, so have nothing with which to compare it. I tried it several chinese recipes that called for 5 Spice Powder and found that it made all of them worse. The excessive
cinnamon-esque taste in the blend overpowers everything else, even the base ingredients. So, I don't know if my palate or expectations were wrong, but I will not be ordering more.

I've used it a couple of times and it was OK

Great

I've never tried any other variety so I don't know if it's how it's supposed to be or not, but I find it to be heavy on the cinnamon.

Best I have tasted since Market Street Five Spice disappeared.

Since being placed on a sodium restricted diet due to high blood pressure, I have been looking for alternative seasonings that do not contain salt. I took a chance on this as the 5 spices supposedly contain the tastes your tongue desires. The contents are very fragrant and pungent. It's good sprinkled on oatmeal and cooked in rice, but found the flavor comes out best in sauces and soups. A little of this spice mixed with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and water makes a great tasting broth for ramen and rice noodles. I also mix in fresh garlic and ginger to same recipe and add cornstarch to thicken and use it as a stir-fry sauce.

Love it

So hard to find many of my favorite things in this area - a veritable dearth of good stuff! Was thrilled to receive these generous helpings of Chinese Five Spice Powder and Powdered Ginger - both are fragrant, fresh and absolutely AMAZING quality! Will definitely return! Thank you. *Nice sample, too!
