This was interesting. The first time I made it we enjoyed it a lot more, the second time, I think there was just too much 5 spice powder for my taste. I prefer it with the barest hint of spice taste, rather than a heavy dusting. It's definitely a different sort of flavour- might be something I'd try to tweak again into an appetizer or something.
