Description:

This is the Chinese bouquet garni. A good balance of all 5 flavours - sweet, sour, bitter, pungent and salty. Contrary to the conception that this blend was named after it's 5 ingredients, it was actually originally named after the 5 elements with the belief that this blend brought balance to the human body through the medicinal benefits it provides. The combination of cinnamon, fennel, star anise, cloves and szechuan peppers  is delicious in roasted and braised meat dishes and in stir frys. A good spice rub for greasy meats like pork & duck. Make a delicious marinade by mixing with honey and soy.
