Here is another clarification on the subject: By Pepe on Tuesday, October 10, 2000 - 01:25 am: I just cooked some adobo pork spare ribs. Super sarap talaga. I experimented a little bit by putting a little bit of five spice powder with the usual adobo TSB ingredients (toyo, suka at bawang). Sarap din ang labas. Don't put a lot though. Just sprinkle some 5 spice powder. It's quite overpowering if you put too much of this powder. (5 spice powder is Ngo-Hiong in Chinese).
Here is the recipe for Chinese Five Spice Powder:
How To Make Five-Spice Powder: Five-spice powder encompasses all five flavors - sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and salty. Source: Raphael Meyer, American Kashrus Services.
In a dry skillet, roast 2 teaspoons of Szechuan peppercorns by shaking the pan over low to medium heat until the aroma of the peppercorns is released (about three minutes). Grind the roasted peppercorns and 8 star anise in a blender or pepper mill. Strain the blended seasonings. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon ground fennel seeds. Grind the seasonings until very fine. Store in an airtight container.
Tips:
Use five-spice powder sparingly, as it can be quite pungent. If desired, you can substitute black peppercorns for the Szechuan peppercorn, and ground anise for the star anise (use 4 teaspoons of ground anise).
