Chinese Five Spice

This blend of spices is almost mandatory in stir-fries. The flavor of Chinese Five Spice is very versatile and blends well with both meats and vegetables. For a nice marinade, mix ¾ tsp. of Chinese Five Spice with ¼ cup vegetable oil, ¼ cup rice vinegar, 2 TBSP soy sauce, 2 TBSP orange juice, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. black pepper and ½ tsp. garlic powder. And for those who counted, yes, we use seven spices in our Chinese Five Spice.
