Five-spice powder, a blend commonly used in the cuisines of some regions in China, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Thailand, is a versatile ingredient that complements both savory and sweet dishes.
Five-spice has a consistent flavor profile—warm, deep, and distinctly spicy without being fiery—but its composition isn’t limited to just five spices; variations often include a wider array.
The blend is often used in marinades, stews, and braises to complement fatty meats like duck, goose, or pork, but it can also enhance snacks and baked goods.
Start conservatively with five-spice powder in your recipes; some blends may be pungent, and it's easy to add more to tailor the flavor.
