Chinese Five Spice Pork

For those of you who are not familiar with Chinese Five Spice, you must check it out.  It is a mixture of ground star anise, cloves, cinnamon, fennel, and Sichuan pepper.  It gives such an amazing flavor any meat but is traditionally used with pork and duck. It can be used in marinades and to season meats, or even to flavor stirfries. I used it in a marinade for a pork loin roast.

Here is a link to a similar recipe.  The flavor is awesome with so many notes, and it is definitely something I will use a lot!

I served the Five Spice Pork with brown rice and broccolini.
