Cooking instructions

* Step 1

To make the Chinese Five Spice powder, toast the ingredients in a dry pan, swirling them gently around until they become fragrant then let cool

* Step 2

Add to a spice grinder or bash with a pestle and morter until powdered

* Step 3

Store in a small jar out of the sunlight. I like to use the empty cinnamon stick jar

* Step 4

Rub each side of the pork with the oil, sprinkle the 5 spice over both sides, rub in, cover and set aside in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes
