Chinese Five Spice Recipe?
Okay. I bought this spice today for a new chicken recipe. Unfortunately it tasted like allspice and licorice (I dislike licorice) not good. I’d hate to throw the bottle out (it was $5+ in my grocery store), so I’m asking for recipes (besides something with apples) that plays up the allspice aspect and MASKS the licorice flavor!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I’m afraid licorice is going to dominate the flavor of anything you make. You could use your 5 spice in a spice cooky recipe or go savory by adding it to some basmati rice.
I don’t have a specific recipe, but I found that if I mix it with soy sauce the licorice flavor dissipates a bit.
Also, mixing it with onions seems to completely mask everything to do with the Five Spice and it doesn’t enhance the flavor of the onions at all.
Five-spice powder adds a spicy kick to dry rubs or marinades for meat, fish or poultry. It goes particularly well with pork – a traditional dish called “Five Flower Pork” consists of pork belly that is marinated in five-spice powder and other seasonings and steamed. Western versions of the dish substitute pork tenderloin or pork chops and call for stir-frying instead of steaming. Occasionally you will also see five-spice powder added to a sauce. And five-spice powder goes very nicely with tofu – it’s one of the secret ingredients in pressed seasoned bean curd.
