If you’re looking for something to accompany an Asian-inspired burger, look no further. Whether used on French fries, potato chips, or onion rings, this seasoning blend infuses your dish with an Asian flair. Ultimately savory, it achieves a balance between the spicy and sweet flavor components that I love. Five-spice powder is a Chinese blend of spices incorporating the five basic flavors of Chinese cooking—savory, sweet, bitter, sour, and salty. It is available in the spice aisle of most supermarkets.

Ingredients

　　2 teaspoons five-spice powder

　　1 teaspoon ground ginger

　　1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar

　　1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

　　1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

　　Stir together the five-spice powder, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, and cayenne in a small bowl.
