Seasoning - China

Chinese-style seasoning is an aromatic spice blend inspired by traditional Chinese cuisine. It typically contains star anise, cinnamon, fennel, cloves, and Sichuan pepper, the foundation of the so-called five-spice blend. This combination gives dishes a characteristic sweet-spicy and slightly anise-like flavour. It is used in marinades for meat, sauces, stir-fried dishes, and soups. It pairs exceptionally well with pork, duck, and beef. Just a small amount is enough to give food an authentic Asian aroma. The blend is popular not only in professional kitchens but also among home cooks.
