Mala Market Whole DIY Chinese Five-Spice

Chinese five-spice is an all-purpose seasoning blend, used in everything from braises and stews to spice rubs and marinades. Mala Market adheres to the classic combination of star anise, cassia cinnamon, fennel, clove and Sichuan pepper—many other brands substitute this last ingredient for easier-to-find black or white pepper, but Sichuan peppercorns are essential for balancing the sweeter flavors of cinnamon and star anise with savory, citrusy notes.

[/banner_heading] Unlike other importers, the company maintains close control over its supply chain; these chilies go straight from the agrarian Guizhou province to the packers in Chengdu. [/banner-text-break] Five-spice is a powerhouse ingredient for classic recipes such as saucy Lu Rou Fan, a classic Taiwanese comfort food. We also like to pair the fragrant blend with savory and warming aromatics, like fresh garlic and fresh ginger, in rubs, marinades, and as a base for soups. The natural sweetness of the spices in five-spice also works beautifully in desserts. Try adding a dash to your next chocolate cake or cookie dough for wonderful complexity and aromatic depth.
