Hi Everyone, Every West Indian familiar with Chinese cuisine, refuses to make any of their favourite Chinese dishes without a few sprinklings of Chinese Five-spice powder added to their food.
So ubiquitous has this spice-combo become that some manufacturers (particularly local and regional), don’t even bother to mention that it is Chinese Five-spice powder, it is simply labelled: Chinese Spice and those in the know, know that it’s the Five-spice powder.
In all cuisines, food is not just food.
