What do you do with 5-spice powder?

[waver]

I have a LOT of 5-spice powder. I sprinkle it on yams before roasting them (in fry-shape). I love the flavour, so what else can I do with it?

How long will 5 spice powder last? I bought a good sized jar of it last year, keep it in cupboard, away from heat & light. This is a good post, because I need to find some things to do with it. I used it for some BBQ ribs in a Steve Raichlen recipe, occasionally in an Asian style marinade.

A friend who grew up in the UAR used to make a great chicken dish using the 5 spice powder. I have never been able to get it exactly right, but then again, haven't tried it in years. She would marinate chicken parts in a combo of soy sauce, honey, 5 spice powder, sesame oil and something else that I cannot remember. She then grilled or baked the chicken parts. Absolutely delicious. She said it was a common meal from her childhood. I lost contact with her; perhaps someone else on here will know about this dish, and make the correct adjustment to it. Everytime I see that 5 spice powder at the store I think of her!

This won't use up a lot of it, but leite's culinaria has a recipe for five-spice biscuits which look good; a simple sugar biscuit with some five spice in it...

a super easy marinade is 5 spice with soy sauce. i put it on pork, chick or tofu.

i also use it in flour coatings as browniebaker.

it's good on corn or popcorn.

asian flavoured braises use it too.

Mix five-spice with flour, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken wings and deep-fry.

This works on fish, as well. I use catfish. I fry it, since I'm too nervous to deep-fry anything. And I usually top it with mango and red pepper salsa.

Along the same idea, 5 spice, soy, lime juice, honey and some srirachi (sic). Marinated some wings in he mix and either fry or bake them.

My lunch-time chinese place has a 5-spice eggplant dish. When I had it it was sub-mulligan, but that's because it was over-cooked mush.

Chopped eggplant, stir-fryed with a bit of chopped tofu, the both of them previously sprinkled with 5-spice powder and a dash of Mirin, makes a formidable dish.

Add bean sprouts, shaved ginger, and lime zest to taste.
