Well, that\u2019s all changed! Creating an authentic and delicious tasting Chinese style 5 Spice Duck is super simple and requires ingredients you very much likely already have in your pantry. Well, perhaps the only missing ingredient is the Chinese 5 Spice, which is a super common ingredient that will likely be sitting in your spice section at the local supermarket

What Spices make up Chinese 5 Spice?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
5 Spice is quite an interesting spice. It is a combination of, you guessed it, five spices! Consisting of Cinnamon, Star Annise, Fennel, Cloves, and Pepper. The authentic Chinese Five spice uses those amazing Szechuan Peppercorns which give your mouth that super bizarre tingly sensation. Some mixes use Szechuan Peppercorns, others regular pepper. They\u2019re both good

One word of advice, however, when using this ingredient is to use it quite sparingly. It tends to overpower dishes with those robust flavors, particularly the Annise and Pepper. In trialing this recipe we did notice how powerful it is, so as with all good home cooking \u2013 make sure you taste it as you go. If the Spice is a little overpowering you can always add a little bit more Honey into the dish to balance it out with more sweetness. The beauty of adding Honey, the Five Spice Glaze will just be thicker and more luxurious!
