Make your own Chinese 5 Spice powder seasoning mix using either ground or whole spices. This fragrant mixture is delicious in any stir-fry recipe, or you can rub it onto chicken before you roast it. Also try mixing a teaspoon with some oil and vinegar and use it to baste steak or pork while it's on the grill.
Make sure that you use the freshest spices when making your own mixes. They should smell very strong and be very fragrant. For the freshest taste, grind your own spices from the whole type, but this mix is still very good made with pre-ground spices.
