A heady, aromatic blend that captures the true essence of Chinese cuisine, Greenfields Chinese 5 Spice is both bold and balanced, with sweet, warm, and subtly peppery notes. This traditional mix instantly evokes the flavours of fragrant stir-fries, slow-braised meats, and delicately spiced broths.
Chinese 5 Spice has long been a cornerstone in Chinese cookery, blending star anise, fennel, cinnamon, cloves, and Sichuan peppercorns into one harmonious seasoning. It’s wonderfully versatile – a single sprinkle can transform everyday dishes into something exotic and restaurant-worthy. Use it to rub over duck or pork belly before roasting, stir through vegetables for a quick Asian-inspired supper, or mix into marinades for barbecue meats. Its warm, slightly sweet finish also pairs beautifully with desserts, adding depth to poached pears, spiced biscuits, or even chocolate cakes.
Here are 10 tasty and modern ways to use it:
Dust over crispy duck or roast chicken for a fragrant, golden skin.
Add a pinch to stir-fried noodles with vegetables.
Stir into a marinade with soy sauce, garlic, and honey for pork ribs.
Mix with sea salt and use as a seasoning for chips or sweet potato fries.
Sprinkle over roasted carrots or squash for a sweet-savoury edge.
Stir into a warming broth or ramen-style soup.
Blend with oil for a glaze over salmon fillets.
Add to burger patties for an Asian-inspired twist.
Stir into rice before steaming for a subtle aromatic lift.
Use in baking – especially spiced biscuits or gingerbread.
Tip: A little goes a long way – start with a pinch and build up, as this blend is rich and concentrated.
“This blend takes my stir-fries to the next level – it tastes so authentic.”
“I never thought of using it in baking, but it made my ginger biscuits amazing.”
“Perfect balance – not too strong, just the right amount of warmth and sweetness.”
Fennel, cinnamon, star aniseed, black pepper and cloves.
