Cooking moms - making a recipe from Cookie mag, for ground pork - requires Chinese five spice, soy, and brown sugar. I don't have Five Spice powder - totally leave out or is there a replaceable substitute I should use? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

It's the recipe for Lettuce Hand Rolls with Ground Pork - cook the pork with garlic, soy, sugar - then scoop into the lettuce and garnish with peanuts, carrots and cukes - hoping the kids think it is fun and eat it! I don't need the all-spice - can't stand anise... [ Reply | More
