I usually avoid buying spice blends because I figure I can make them myself a lot more economically. But Chinese 5 spice pork is an exception. It�s a blend of star anise, fennel, pepper, cinnamon, and cloves, and those bold flavors need just the right ratios. This fragrant blend, found in even the smallest grocery stores nowadays, adds a unique flavor to any Asian dish. And when you can get the full regional flavor of a dish with just a sprinkle of spices, it doesn�t get any easier than that!
