While five-spice powder is a mainstay of the Chinese kitchen, it contains standard American companions for pork and apples, including cinnamon, cloves, and fennel seed. You'll find the spice mix at Asian markets and the spice section of grocery stores.
Made to recipe except it took longer than 10 min to reduce sauce, at the end added just 1tbs lemon juice, tasted & then stopped there. Served with baby yukon golds/garlic smashed with a bit of fat-free sour cream, baby blue potatoes also smashed with sour cream, and steamed diagonal-cut carrots. Easy prep and very pretty on the plate. Good autumn supper.
Very easy and absolutely delicious! I would make this for family and friends, but easy enough to make just for my immediate family. I served it with leftover mashed potatoes, stuffing and corn. I let the little one eat it with regular applesauce, and she enjoyed it, too.
This was delicious! I didn't have five-spice, so I mixed apple pie spice and steak seasoning. Turned out great. I also only added half the salt, 1/2 tsp would have been far too much. The sauce took much longer than 10 minutes to reduce, but the time for the pork was spot on. Will definitely be making again!
Really good and easy to make. The sauce is delicious
