    1. 5 Spice Powder is an Asian cooking spice mix that includes star anise, peppercorns, fennel seeds, cloves and cinnamon. If you have trouble finding 5 Spice Powder at your local grocery store you can substitute All Spice or make your own version using equal parts of ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and black pepper.
