Five-spice powder refers to a seasoning used in Chinese cuisine, especially Cantonese, which incorporates five basic flavors of Chinese cooking: savory, bitter, pungent, salty, and sweet. The recipe for the powder varies but can contain cinnamon, black pepper, star anise, fennel seed and cloves. A little of this goes a long way.
Five-spice powder is often found in recipes that also contain peanuts, sherry, sesame seeds, peanut oil, coconut milk and maple syrup
Substitution for 5 teaspoon five-spice powder:
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon peppercorn
1 teaspoon anise seed
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
Ground Szechuan peppercorns are preferred but you can use ground black peppercorns instead.
Note: Substitutions are a suggestion only and may not work well with all recipes. Use your best judgment!
