What is chinese five spice powder?
Five spice powder is used extensively in chinese cooking.
This pungent mixture of five ground spices usually consists of equal parts of cinnamon, cloves, fennel seed, star anise, and szechuan peppercorns.
Prepackaged five-spice powder is available in Asian markets and most supermarkets.
You can easily make your own from whole spices which results in a much fresher and significantly more flavourful spice mixture.
See this: Homemade Five Spice Powder recipe for details on making your own five spice blend.

Cabbage & Shiitake Pot Sticky Buns
After a few potsticker recipes, I finally made my very first bunch of pot sticky buns (another popular food in China). They came out soft, and quite delicious. Nicely browned and crispy at the bottom. It's an excellent way to use up some of our fresh veggies.
Moo Shu-Style Grilled Chicken
Fantastic. I cooked it for my parents. My mother said it was very aromatic, my father just finished before I started to eat. It was a fun lunch. Thanks!
Potstickers (??)
Making pot stickers are pretty much as same as making dumplings, the only thing different is how to cook them. Instead of boiling in the water, we fry them in a nonstick skillet with a bit oil, which really develops a layer of golden, brown and crispy bottoms with great texture. Serve these yummy pot stickers with a mixture of rice vinegar, a little bit soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil and splash of hot pepper oil.
Budget: Asian Spiced Orange Pork Ribs
Side ribs are cheaper than back ribs - there is lots of bone, but you can still get nice portions of meat.
Kung Pao Tofu
This kung pao tofu was very tasty. I used two green bell peppers and 1 red bell peppers. Didn't have oyster sauce, so I used housin sauce, and it worked deliciously well.

A copycat recipe of a popular chinese chain in the US. The method used creates a super crispy skin for this roast chicken.

A very easy and fairly quick one pot meal that's perfect when you're in a hurry. Chunks of chicken and rice seasoned with star anise and Chinese five spice powder. Yum.

Quick to prepare, great flavor. The fish takes on a caramel color on the outside, and stays flakey white on the inside, which creates a nice appearance.
Chinese Country Beef Short Ribs
Slow cooked beef short ribs that simply fall off the bone in a delicious Chinese style barbecue sauce. Packed with flavor and nearly hands-free preparation using your slow cooker or Crockpot.
