So, what is five spice?

Five spice is a traditional Chinese seasoning blend that adds depth and complexity to a wide range of dishes. The combination of five key spices - usually including cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, star anise, and Szechuan peppercorns - creates a savory, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor profile that's perfect for both meat and vegetable dishes. This fragrant blend is often used in marinades, rubs, and sauces, and can be added to stir-fries, soups, and stews for a bold burst of flavor. With its unique blend of aromatic spices, five spice is a versatile ingredient that can elevate any dish with its distinctive taste.
