The Culinary Uses of Five Spice Powder
Chinese Five-Spice Powder may have originally been used Medicinally to Balance Yin & Yang. Five is considered to be a number associated with Healing Properties. It has been integrated into Chinese & Taiwanese Cuisine & it is also used in Vietnamese Cuisine & in other parts of Asia.
For cooking, the Theory is that Five-Spice Encompasses a balance of the Main Flavors, with interesting interplays between Cool (yin) & Warm (yang). The theory behind the composition of the five spice powder is to Blend in five flavors - Salty, Sweet, Sour, Bitter & Pungent. It is also believed that that addition of Five Spice Powder counter Balances the heat of a Dish not creating any Discomfort After Eating.
Five-Spice Powder is a Seasoning Blend of Ground Spices, appearing as a Dry Brown Powder. In Chinese Cuisine, it is most often used to Flavor Braised or Roasted Meat, Fish, & Poultry Dishes, & may be included in Marinades & Rubs.
Five-Spice Powder works especially well with Slow-Simmered, “greasy” meats like Duck & pork, but if you’re stumped on how to incorporate it into your everyday cooking, you don’t need to be constrained to Traditionally Chinese or even East Asian Cuisine. Mix the Spice Blend with Salt for an Easy Dry Rub for any Protein of your choice.
Five-Spice Chicken Breasts with Sesame-Orange Beans, Five-Spice Flank Steak, Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges, Five-Spice Pecans, Chinese Five-Spiced Apple Chips & Five-Spice Cranberry Relish with Goat Cheese are a few Great Combinations.
