Chinese 5 Spice

It's not about the number of spices. Traditional recipes range from 5 to 8 ingredients. It is about the balance of the 5 elements of life that the spice evokes. A spice that transcends the sum of its parts. Our recipe preserves the intent of the original with a delightful tingle that adds sensation to taste
Great on duck, pork, chicken, turkey ..... cocktails? (see link below).
Experiment. Enjoy.

Easy Shrimp Spring Roll
Here is a good simple spring roll recipe idea. I took 8 jumbo shrimp and coated them with about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of 5 spice. Using 6 inch rice paper, I soaked 4 sheets and smeared about 1/4 tsp of Hoisin sauce in each one. The shrimp were lightly sauteed and I added 2 per sheet. I chopped up some kimchi and put it on the shrimp. If you don't have kimchi, some chopped lettuce, preferably romaine would work, with a sprinkle of hot sauce. Finally, if you have some fresh mint, by all means put 6-8 leaves in each sheet. Finally wrap the rice paper and you have nice tasty spring rolls for spring!
These are my favorite!
