INSTRUCTIONS
This mixture is used throughout southern China and Vietnam to season
roast meat and poultry, and to flavor marinades. Besides the five
basic ingredients, it can consist of up to two of the following
spices: cardamom, dried ginger and licorice root. The powder varies in
color, from tan to gingery-brown to amber. Star anise dominates the
aroma and taste. Grind all the ingredients together and use sparingly.
Stored in an airtight container, five-spice powder will keep for 3-4
months. Source: Jill Norman "The Complete Book of Spices" Viking
Studio Books, 1991 ISBN 0-670-83437-8 The book is lavishly illustrated
with full color photographs of the herbs and spices- whole, mixed,
