The Chinese five star I have has cinnamon, star anise, anise seed, ginger and groung cloves in it. just happen to have the Penzey's catalog in my desk  ::)

I have the Penzeys Chinese Five Spice and it's pretty good.
But if you don't like anise you probably won't like it.
It sounds funny....rubbing anise on your butt!  :D :D :D :D

[Smokeville]

The 5 spice I used came from a Canadian retail chain called Bulk Barn. I bought it along with all my other rub spices a few months back, but not intending it for a rub.

I'm sure it's the standard recipe of spices, but what the ratio is I can't tell.

BTW, Carolyn, I don't care much for anise but it wasn't predominant. Very subtle almost like the taste of a grilled fennel bulb, which I enjoy. (I hate licorice...).

All I can say is that the taste of this asian pulled pork blew the usual taste out the door.

This is the ordinary rub I used... (nothing noteworthy).

    * 1/4 cup brown sugar
    * 1/4 cup paprika
    * 2 tablespoons black pepper
    * 2 tablespoons salt
    * 1 tablespoon cayenne
    * 2 teaspoons dry mustard

Nope, I just used the rub on the meat by itself.... and the amount in the recipe was more than enough to do the 4-5lb butt.

Yeah, I'm not sure either, but I'll probably try it someday. The recipe had more than 4-5 ingredients so I automatically set it aside.

If anyone tries it, let us all know.
