We have met the most amazing people to co-create salt blends with, and we are excited to share Joy's Five Spice with you!
Boston-based Joy started her food blog,
The Cooking of Joy because she was inspired to document her mom's Taiwanese dishes. You can find her work on Instagram at
@joyosity.
Five spice powder is an essential part of Taiwanese cooking and also used in Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. The five spices themselves vary, and for this blend, Joy selected cinnamon, star anise, cloves, ginger, and white pepper to create a harmonious blend of warm and fragrant spices that lean towards a sweeter profile.
Traditional uses include Taiwanese beef noodle soup, braised pork over rice, and popcorn chicken, but you can also use it in applications that call for cinnamon, like cinnamon rolls, to add a subtle Asian flair. One of Joy's favorite ways to use the blend is to add it to the marinade to make soy-marinated jammy eggs!
