Bring the rich taste of traditional Chinese cuisine into your meals with Flour & Herbs Chinese Five Spice.
This blend mixes five distinct spices: star anise, cinnamon, cloves, fennel, and Sichuan pepper. Together, they create a harmony of sweet, savory, and warm spicy notes that enhance roasted meats, vegetables, and soups.
Instead of buying individual jars for every recipe, this pre-mixed seasoning delivers consistent flavor in every scoop. It is a foundational pantry staple that turns everyday dishes into restaurant-quality favorites.
Why You'll Love It- Five-Spice Harmony: Star anise and cinnamon combine with cloves, fennel, and Sichuan pepper for a balanced profile without overpowering your food.

- Pantry Efficiency: Keeps one less spice jar open while guaranteeing a reliable blend every time you cook.
- Complex Flavor Base: Adds layers of aroma and warmth that complement ginger, soy sauce, and garlic naturally.
This spice mix excels in savory applications where warmth and subtle sweetness are desired.

- Dry Rub First: Let ground meats rest with the spice rub for ten minutes before cooking to deepen the flavor.
- Add Early for Soups: Stir the blend directly into simmering broths early so the aromatics fully bloom.
- Combine with Ginger: Pair fresh grated ginger with this powder to recreate classic Cantonese dish bases perfectly.
- Store Cool and Dark: Keep the spice in a sealed container away from heat to preserve the potency of the star anise oils.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
